The watch in the picture is real but the photos look professional so they might be copied stock pics

Definitely NOT a stock photo. May have been taken by a professional, but wrong time and date to be a stock photo.

Reason I asked is cause I bought this watch. Just arrived yesterday. Have to say I'm pretty happy with it so far, even though the lack of a quick set date feature is really frustrating. I can also confirm that those pictures are real, the blemishes on the watch bands depicted in the photos match the blemishes that are on the watch that was sent to me.

Gee, I didn't realise the Caliber 23 (Valjoux 7753) movement lacks a quickset feature. Apparently you can quickset the date by repeatidly altering the time between 8pm and past midnight?

Correct.

You generally have to go to about 2am and back to 10pm.

Thanks for the correction - I always thought 10:12 was the stock photo time used.

10:09 usually, but if you thought 10:12 why did you say that a photo taken at 11:34 was a stock photo?????????

WOW - I looked at the wrong watch the entire time! I was looking at the one on the bottom not the one with the big sold thing across it.
