Hi can anyone tell me if the watch in my pics is fake or not. I bought it at a flea market because it looked rugged and was an automatic. So far it keeps good time, but it is very tatty. the Chrome plating is missing in a few places with brass coloured metal exposed.

100 % fake. 135999 is a very well known fake serial number.

:welcome: and sorry but :fake:

Looking at the dial, I'd have guessed it was quartz rather than automatic.
