FAKE
The magnified date is too small, and the numbers aren't perfectly centered... Anyone else see any dead give aways?

Thank you for replying so quickly I think the dial is a terrible fake but the bracelet, case, bezel and lugs all look real to me.

The magnification is off. Took me 3 seconds to spot that.

That co worker is not your friend in the slightest. Don't ever believe that. Fake.

Yep...pretty much mostly all junk if not all....the only one I feel MAY have a chance of being real is the Omega in SS on top right...but then again the pic is terrible and damn near impossible to tell from that one pic..

If you hear the word 'grandpa' used in even the slightest association with a watch sale, then the watches are junk.

Judging by the scale of the pictures, one blow with a 12" diameter sledge hammer should get them all !!

Best thing to do, other than getting the opinions of all the expert opinions from bad photos. Take them to the nearest AD and get his opinion. By the way, they look fake.
