Real or Fake?
I'm not familiar with this model at all, a friend of a friend is moving to Europe tomorrow and asked me if I'm interested in any of his watches before he leaves. This is the only one that caught my eye, but I've never seen that box before, and it has no papers or booklets. What do you guys think? Also, what is the going rate for this specific model without papers if it is authentic? Thanks guys

Probably real, but photos are not exactly helpful.

I don't do values. FAQs recommend completed sales on eBay and dealer asking prices on Chrono24. You can also check the sales forums.

Box is real and older.

Thanks for the info, I checked out ebay and looks to be priced competitively.

Not great pics but enough to spot it's not a fake. There are a couple of Hercules fakes I've seen but the sub dials are always wrong.

This is the best one. Note the 24 dial is at the 3 rather than 9 position.

Thanks for the response! Yes it's definitely not the greatest choice of pics. I was going to purchase it to help him out but I opted against it. Although it's a beautiful watch I don't really see myself wearing it.
