I was shown a Hercules watch last night for a brief second. From the quick look, it seemed to look "sketchy". The crystal seemed very cloudy and the sub dials indicated the day, date, and month. The chrono buttons changed the sub dials. I am not very familiar with this watch so I looked it up online this morning and I noticed that the sub dials were actual chrono functions. This leads me to believe that the watch I saw was a fake. However, the guy that owned it has plenty of money, so it leaves me wondering. Please shed some light.

Thanks,
