Looks fake to me (length of minute marks near 15th and 45th minute mark).
Clear dial shot will tell us the truth.

Not a serial number used for the fakes

232 in the start of serial is used for fake baton SA.

While I completely respect your opinion, I personally disagree. The angle is a little awkward, but the dial shots and spacing looks superb. Also I've yet to see a 2320 in my hunt through the SA jungle to be a fake.

OP, if you decide to pass on this, please pass on the information to me. If the seller is willing to take it to an AD, I would love to get my hands on this watch as long as it's in the 2500$ range.

You have complete right for that.

I wouldn't be so agile if I'm in your shoes, clear dial shot will solve this instantly.

It looks good to me.
Just making sure we're both on the right page.

No odin, those are correct. If we're talking about the same thing. The pics you posted have the same thing and are fine.

bnewb, I understand what you're getting at, but from the OP pics the lume dot at 45 doesn't appear to overlap like the one in the pictures.

It's the length of 44th and 46th minute.
They should be the same length as 43rd and 47th.
Better dial shot will solve this for any of you.
I'm 99,9% that it's fake, even with this photos.
