Can anyone please help.

Some one is selling me a black ceramic sub, the problem is something tells me its not real. The guy is willing to take it with me to an AD to have it checked out. What do u guys think?

Ask the seller lots of questions,I mean lots,focus on the history of the watch then ask why it`s for sale etc.,spend time and don`t rush,if the seller is a phoney his patience will run out before yours.

If the questioning doesn`t produce any doubts then maybe you can invest the time to see an AD of your choice.

Your photo alone is not enough to tell if it`s a fake.

Not the best picture there, but something looks off to me. I would pass.

Most important rule when buying on the grey market buy the seller not the watch

Also the watch is fake the pearl is not correct looking

Rehaut engravng looks too bold and the hour markers look wrong. If you purchase, I would take to an AD with a watchmaker on site ad have the watch looked over, including opening thbe caseback to check the movement.

Sir, that does not look right. Even the crown looks low on the body - suggestive of an ETA movement inside.

I wouldn't waste my time going to an AD.

Run Forest run!

The fonts look wrong, the rehaut looks wrong. Pretty much definitely fake

Definitely a fake. Some things look odd, but rehaut is dead giveaway.
