This is a fake Navitimer World - when I saw it, I thought it was real. Pretty scary how close to the real thing they are looking. Typically the date seems to give it away when it's fake.

The guy who did this took a date wheel out of a chronomat evo V3 (not sure what the V3 means) and shaved the teeth down inside the wheel.

Yeah that is not the standard fake date wheel. Good job he didn't shave the teeth on the bezel rim at the same time as it still a tad too thick. There are a few other things wrong too.

There have been several replica versions of the Evo made. V1 had the missing "10 tick" and incorrect date font. V2 corrected these faults and I can't remember what changed on the V3, possibly the rider tabs.
