Does this YM II Look Fishy to you Guys?
Hi Guys,
I don’t own a YM II so maybe someone can chime in. All videos I have watched do not seem to indicate raised blue outlining on the dial, or other raised lettering? Is the blue horseshoe in person really raised on the dial? Seems to be flat from what I can see on genuine videos, but again hard to tell from a distance. The red circled area in the picture below appear to be raised? Is this legitimate?

Maybe just lighting, but here is a legit picture of a YMII from a reputable dealer online. Seems the lettering and horseshoe are flat, right???

This is one of the most sophisticated movements out there- get a vid of the watch working- I have not seen a working replica for this model before. not saying there isn't one- but odds are it's real if the movement works.

Looks legit to me. YMII is a very hard model to replicate IMO doubt there is one out there that is not easily spotted as fake
