I'm currently looking at these but wondered if any fakes exist?

It would make life a lot easier if they didn't.

I have seen them, pretty easy to notice. Post a pic before you buy.

Yes there are Aerospace fakes but they are not very convincing looking. The fakes usually have a Japanese movements so they incorrectly have pushers and a sec hand. See Sharkmouth's post on this thread for a typical example: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16909

Altro's article on the history of the Aerospace lists most of the model variations. So if a watch looks like one on here, it's real:

Thanks for the links. It should make spotting a fake a lot easier.

I have seen a different dial to those shown which had numericals all round the dial

The latest Aerospace does have numbers around the dial but I can't recall seeing any fakes with this dial.
