From the photos I can't be sure, I'm not going to tell you something is definitely real unless I am absolutely sure!

Top of the bezel the white round insert that's different to the authentic ones.... I've been looking very closely? I'm sure this has a proper name so excuse my ignorance

It's called the bezel pearl, and yes, it may be the photo, but it looks a little odd, however the watch lacks some of the other 'tells' of fakes. As I have said, without better resolution photos I cannot call it for sure.

Sorry, it's fake.
Caseback logo and date font are wrong.

Missed the case back, I'm never 100% sure with most of those single digit dates. Good catch bnewbie.

Yeap fake. The real giveaway is the wrong ref prefix for the bimetal version.

Edit: Common fake serial number 805556 too.

Do you have the Ebay link?
