Exp II

Hey , just found it on ebay... drew my attention as listed from China. Description says original.... I am no expert , so please free to say its the real thing , but to me the bezel letters just dont seem right and the writing at 6 , normally says SWISS MADE , not SWISS <25 or something

Is this another fake ? No intention of buying it , but thought it might be useful to post here

on second thoughts the clasp could be original. Older Explorer IIs used the 78360 bracelet with this type of clasp.
