This just highlights the ignorance of the faker.

Two stick outs from the Genuine Example
1) An Aeromarine (Chrono Avenger etc) style crown fitted to a Professional range watch??
2) The "(in)famous" "chopped" '6' is clearly not present as the dial displays the perfect B-1 style '6'

In addition two(??), what appear to be, pressure relief valves when it should be an end cap at the 9 o clock for the sliderule gearing mechanism. Lots more to pick at but what's the point.......

The seller received a negative for trying to sell it earlier. It's been removed once since then.
