Not sure. No SWISS MADE (or any markings like that) at the "6" position, hands look new. Second hand looks too short. Better get one of the pros in here to verify.

I think i've seen this one floating around before. It is a poor repaint job on the dial.

The dial isn't right and something also isn't right with the bezel. On the second picture even thou the top arrow isn't lined up the twelve is on the bottom. It looks as if its centered when the top is off set. Might be my eyes but this is the second bezel like this that I've seen and the last was on a fake.

About the only thing that does look right is the date

The dial appears to be a poor quality redial. The band and clasp appear genuine, but the end links are incorrect. It's hard to make a call on this one.

The wrong end links and a redial doesn't preclude it from being genuine.

Interesting the picture of where the serial number should be looks as if it was brushed off and nothing can be seen. I know that on old watches the number can be rubbed off but this appears to be uniformed brushing. If you look at the picture of the model number there is very little rubbing on the number. This causes me to wonder if this watch just might be stolen. Very odd.
