Picked up this watch from a local pawnbroker. I examined under a loupe, all markings are crisp and logos look sharp. Took it to an AD (Ben Bridge) to look at as well. They didn’t use a loupe but the rep looked at it in detail and said he had no doubts about its authenticity.
It sounds like the rotor is loose and the AD said it needs to be sent in for service. I just don’t want the embarrassment of unknowingly sending in a fake (or have it confiscated by the service center). I’m also nervous I’ve wasted a good sum of money. But hoping the loose rotor I hear is just because this is a 10-12 year old watch.
Please note any blurriness in text/ logo on dial is just due to the way my camera focused. Pictures taken under bright LED light. Tried to reduce reflections as much as possible.
