Oyster Perpetual DateJust T Swiss Made T: Real or Fake?
He gave me a watch that he claims to have just "found" while going for a walk, and Im almost certain it's a fake because that kind of blind luck just doesnt exist (He lives in a faily low income neighborhood, which was a red flag.)
I spent about an hour or so doing several tests with the watch, like dipping it in water, listening for ticking, inspecting every inch for blurry font or misspellings, but I am no expert obviously. Fixed above the 12 is what Im assuming is the serial number (116264) and below the 6 is another set of numbers (X41900). I really want to believe it's real, but if it's not, it's a damn good replica and I might just wear it anyway lol. Here's a gallery of the watch: http://imgur.com/a/ck4PB |

It's fake.
It's your call, but I recommend that you hit it with a hammer. I'd also suggest that you get some other opinions before you do anything. A visit to a AD or watchmaker may be in order, but I stand by my earler statement.

Just wondering, what makes you say it's a fake? Curious so I can look out for future counterfeits.

Did it never cross your mind to hand a found watch in to the police?

Put it back where he found it, it isn't worth keeping and maybe the original owner would want it back fake and all.
