Really hard to tell by pictures alone but the watch is highly doubtful for the reason that it has a Hallmark (18k) in one of its lugs.

I couldn't see the hallmark initially but I can see it now. It shouldn't have a hallmark anyway but the one it does have is more like an engraving than a stamped mark. No good.

Typically, once I hear it was given as a gift, more chances than not, it's fake.

SUPER FAKE... at least the counterfeiters got the right idea though... not as bad as some of the others which have made their way but worthless all the same...

Your friend's watch is a fake. But I get the feeling you knew this.
