Real of Fake "Oyster Perpetual Day Date"?
Found this watch today and was wondering if it was real or fake. I tried looking online but it didnt help me too much.

I'm saying fake .. Perhaps you can have the bracelet removed and post pictures of the case between the lugs

Any jeweler can remove the bracelet for you .. To be honest, it is hard for me to actually tell much from the pics you posted .. One of the easiest ways to tell is to check the numbers between the case lugs as well as have the back opened to look at the movement .. The date is also another way to check (the date is 2.5 times magnification)

Even with the bad pics...the date magnification doesn't look right (actually doesn't look like there is even a date wheel in there)....plus the Y in Thursday is falling under the dial...not good...fake!

This, the first thing to look at is the date (lack of) magnification. Simple, quick and easy to spot. If the date does not fill the cyclops, don't bother looking for other signs....
