Comparing this to the replica I know of, this looks real. Tells are the shape of the 0 in 20 on the bezel and the gen GMT hand has a silver base whereas the rep's is red. I'll do a side by side when I get a minute.

This looks somewhat legitimate, but I am skeptical, any thoughts? Thanks- http://www.ebay.com/itm/140909663087?_t ... 97.c0.m619 |

This is a brand new rep so would like confirmation before reporting, but fake for me. |

Thanks for taking a look- I'm a bit skittish- I asked for photos of the warranty card, and the S/N. No reply yet. He does have a good seller reputation, but not for watches. However After having traveled to China and other parts of the world, several times, I have a whole different worldview on easy fakes, some of which are shockingly good. I'd prefer to find this model through a AD who would discount, but not having much luck. |

It's real, date font is different. Replica is not that good (just $138). |

Here's a side by side - gen on the left.  Main tells are:- 0 in 20 is the wrong shape Centre ring on GMT hand red, not silver Gen 5 on dial is square whereas fake is rectangular As BN noted, the gen date wheel is thinner than the usual font used. Hope this helps someone from making an expensive mistake. |

Scary for the 1st generation, this could easily become an SOH type fake with later versions. |

The lug width are the big giveaway? The real has an integrated bracelet/strap but fakes so far have conventional lugs. |
