First of all I want to thank this board in advance for the help. I am considering purchasing this watch......it was purchased at John Bull in Nassau, Bahama's.....everything seems on the level....it also has the green hologram sticker on the back........I'm just curious as to what some experienced eyes might think......I can post more pics......what do you think...real or fake?.....Thanks for the help

Sorry...I uploaded a pic I was using for comparison.....real pic in next post

i definitly wouldn't touch that,the date magnification is way to little for a start, the 'diamonds' look badly set, the winding crown is different, etc etc

Hi splitcane,

Welcome to TRF

I have to agree with Pav on this one, the date mag is way off, but the date window itself show a genuine font and centered perfectly, I'd say at some stage an aftermarket crystal was fitted and not fitted well, I would thoroughly have this watch checked IE service history, pop the back off and look for the usual markings left by a service agent. check the model and serial on the case.
