Any help identifying if this is authentic? I'm not well versed on the Bentleys but I know they are heavily copied.

This watch is local to me so I'm going to try and see it this weekend. Anything in particular I should look for? Anyone got decent pics of what the caseback should look like?

The pics I've seen of real ones have the date in red but this appears to be black. Thoughts?

I'm just nervous because its so cheap. I'm probably being extra skeptical. No box, papers or history.

bnewbie - can you explain the red vs black date font color? I've seen both now on a blue face like this one in pics online.

The watch in the photos is real. If you are getting it for under $1,000 then either the seller is going to do a bait and switch or it's stolen!

Yea, something is definitely off for that price. I'd be very careful.....

The watch in the picture is real. The best fakes of the model have a sunken date with the wrong font and do not have the correct 30 sec chronograph function. But at that price you need to be suspicious.

Old Motors have red, newer have dark red, new have dark red or black.
