There is but it has the sunken date wheel like all 3-6-9 reps.

It looks OK to me, but not sure whether there is a quality fake of this yet. |

could not find any reference wrt white subdials or "hollow" hands... not buying, but just spotted it with low price / low feedback / blurred pix & no mention of papers apart from a generic booklet picture. |

An interesting one for sure. Watch looks ok and as Roff says one can't remember seeing any fakes of this yet; but o/wise it rings just about every alarm bell - zero feedback, awful and minimal photos, no reserve, ultra-cheap postage. Very strange. |

I agree the hands do look off without the lume, and the only white/white combo I've seen is the rose gold with white subs. Not to say they haven't made it in SS as well. Interested to see the better pics if they are forthcoming. |

there is a white/white SS TOC - and this one shows none of the obvious tells of the available low grade fakes I have seen, maybe Sharkmouth and bnewbie know of a quality fake, but the hands seem to be correct (and lumed), the "open hand" is the chrono second and it's shadow, but hard to say for sure with these pics. |

I mistakenly took it for an older open hand style one which would be incorrect on the TOC. Looking at it closely though, it is of course the shadow! I also thought the other hands were open and what I thought was the subdial visible through them is the blurry lume. |
