Somone posted this watch on a WRUW thread on the rolex forums.

To me it looks like a knock off. EIther that or its a navi that I have never seen before.

Any other feedback? This thing is SCREAMING Fake to me.

I thought that one of the signs of a fake was subdials too close together? How can you tell this is real?

Because it looks eactly like a 92 looks.

Quartz fakes often have close subdials, these aren't that close if you look at the hands, they're just large.

Generally, it is true that close subdials is a sign that its a cheap quartz fake. However, there are a few models with custom chrono units such as this model that have closely spaced subs. The Navitimer Heritage model is another example.
