Air King 114200 - did I buy a fake?

[phillyairking]

I just bought this on ebay - but now I wonder if it is a fake or something is up? I saw another watch, even with the same red tag, saying new unworn.

need photos....

[phillyairking]

just click the link in the post and they pop up

[phillyairking]

they will load on their own too - it takes a minute

[socalwatchcollector]

No link or photos appear in Firefox... I see where you attached but nothing shows... It keeps changing as well.. Very strange..

If you click the attachment on post before entering the thread it does work..

Anyone else see photos on the thread? Not sure what the heck is going on here

I see the photos. Do you have the watch in your possession already or are those just the eBay photos?

I can see a couple of anomalies in the watch.

Look ok to me, Reputable seller as well with a history of selling watches

You paid retail for a watch on eBay from a reputable seller, want us to authenticate it,
Yet you don't even have it in your possession? I'm sorry but this makes zero sense.
Secondarily, why are you paying retail to some random bfe pawn shop for a watch you
Suspect is fake?

I am not an expert on these. I thought this was a good place to get the opinion of people who knew better. I tried going to some local stores, here in Philadelphia, there are tons. Bought one, it stopped working before I even got home. Had to dispute on my credit card. I thought ebay was a good place because I could see seller ratings. As for the price, it did not seem out of line. I local Rolex dealer, Govberg was way more.

I did not expect all the hate.

I should have said POSSIBLE anomalies. In the pictures provided, the engraved rehaut does not align with the minute markers around 15 to 25 min markers. Also, the alignment and possible font looks somewhat questionable. But we all know pictures can be deceiving, right?
