Help authenticate! PLEASE!

I am a little paranoid that this is not authentic. Got it from a semi-reputable dealer online that is big in my city and does a lot of business on Watchexchange. Box, card (with lume) and hang tag check out.

Help me ease my mind!

Wait a minute, looks like you confirmed is fake. What else you need to know?

Sorry to hear this bro but is worth less to nothing. Take the loss and move on.

Semi-reputable as in a dealer of watches that is brick and mortar store, but not Bob’s Watches. Not a random person on the street.

Semi-reputable means not quite reputable.

Buy the seller, not the watch.

Welcome to the forum.

Semi-reputable dealer? There's your answer - it might be genuine.

Why would you make a purchase this size from a dealer that you feel needs the prefix “Semi”?

Using forums like this one, it’s pretty easy to find dealers that are “very” or “extremely’” reputable.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find questions like this to be a fair bit more beneficial when made prior to purchase.
