Hello everyone, First and foremost i am glad that all of you are here. I just purchased this watch and now i am nervous. I dont know if its real or not. I saw in the description that they said they guarantee it or my money back. Well i got the watch it runs beautifully and now im wondering what the experts think. Also do any of you know where i can buy a link for it. Not too many on ebay. and since i am not a watchmaker i will not even attempt to open the back case. Any help is appreciated.

I can't see the pics very well but I grabbed you a few images for comparison...it looks right to me but others here have 100000x my knowledge so their opinion is far more important than mine...

Well, first off, I wouldn't call this a vintage piece - not that old by a large stretch. And actually that is helpful, because an early 90s Colt is not a model like true vintage pieces that are presently being faked and when that watch was made, the fake market was nowhere close to producing a piece which looked that close. It is one CRAPPY picture for sure, but I think you are just fine.


Edit - missed the remaining pics - it is genuine for sure - no doubt.

Thank you both for taking the time out to help me. I really do love the watch and like i said, i just wasnt sure, but it sure does look pretty. Those pictures do it no justice. I will post my own and show you what it looks like. Thanks again for helping me. Any good place that i could get some links at?

The watch and bracelet are real. Crown might be replaced, can't be sure on mobile.
