Better pics are needed including close ups of the screw heads in the links. But based on what we have here, I am leaning heavily towards fake. The tail of the S is a classic tell. I also do not like the Lume dots and their metal surrounds.

To the OP. I bought a high quality SOSF fake and took it to my AD. I had the entire staff check it out and pronounce it genuine. I asked if they would buy it and they said they would. I told them their was something wrong with it and they looked for it and checked it out, still pronouncing it perfect. By this time the off duty Phoenix cop/security was joining in. I then spent an hour educationing them about the high quality fakes, especially the SOSF and Chronomat Evo. They had NO idea. There are very very good fakes!

Definitely fake IMHO. Just took a picture of mine. The S is wrong as well as the head of the "1's" in the "10" & "15" on the bezel. The lume dot on the bezel also doesn't match mine.

The elliptical hole in the 6 at 6 o’clock is the wrong shape. The tail on the S in superocean is to short, and it should have a slow cure running down wards in it.


Sorry - what do you mean by a slow cure (curve?) running downwards?

Also look at the number 20 next to the tail in Superocean - not enough space from the 20 and the lume.

Sorry, yes it should have read curve :oops: . Another odd thing, is the watch has the old style second hand, but has the new pro2 bracelet on it.
