The clasp and bracelet is fake, so I'm guessing the rest of the watch is fake also.
Post a clear picture of dial and case.

the person that sold that thing to you didn't tell you how to tell a fake from a real one? that's poor customer service.

Apparently I don't know what to look for, because it looks real to me. :/

Not to pile on here, but what you have there is a fake/replica. I sure hope you didn't pay very much.........maybe like 40-50 bucks

The minute hand almost touches the minute track so it must not be real. I guess the replicas have better proportions than the real thing.

There are a lot of red flags on this watch... clasp, dial, bezel, and lugs. The lesson in this is easy ;-)...
