Thoughts on 6538

Good Morning,
This is the fist time i have used this forum and i'm interested in the thoughts of this 6538 that I am interested in, is it real, is the dial original, there is so many copies out there its hard to tell and with the knowledge on this page i might get a better understanding...
Many thanks in advance for all your input

If it is, I’ll take it! Do you know the history at all? Is it a private sale or from a dealer?

Not Real.

Movement is real , I suspect everything else is fake based on what I see in photos. Dial print bad, case engravings wrong, bezel / insert aftermarket

Sadly yes, it looks too new and too perfect. The photos are not very good.

Don't think of it that way. Think of how lucky you are for not BUYING it, and for learning a thing, or two!
