Show the clasp markings to us, between the lugs and movement if possible, otherwise how can we tell if its all original without photos of any reference points ? Dial looks ok and date wheel ok

I'm smelling an aftermarket clasp which makes me also question the bracelet...
End links and case back look wrong, too...

Doesn't make any sense. You make a thread asking for help to see what to look for to make sure it's real or not and when our fellow members chime in and say what they think might be wrong with the watch you question them and say that the seller confirms that it's real? Doesn't make any sense there. If any of us are telling you some things might be wrong with it, you're still going to buy it?

Post the link of that watch that's being sold. If its from here, you don't have to ask if its authentic or not. Guaranteed to be 100%
