Hello, new guy with a quick question about a dubious watch I found at a pawn shop. These are the pictures the seller sent me.... (I've owned two airkings but never anything else so not familiar with these). TIA

ps, I think its fake b/c of the engraving on the back....

Kapture1 · 11 August 2010, 07:00 AM

Can you post better pics? Get rid of the blurry-ness?

Its hard to see the engraving on the back, or any other details about the watch in question

EDIT: other than it has the bezel of a sub... Its a fake and not a very good one

rockyn · 11 August 2010, 07:02 AM

It's pretty hard to tell from the blurry pics, but the ingraving on the back would lead me to believe it's fake

I think you need to post in the watch out section.. and photo's that don't give people a headache would probably help too lol

Rolesor · 11 August 2010, 07:02 AM

Engraving and sub-ish bezel = wrong

michalik.piotr6837 · 11 August 2010, 07:03 AM

These are the only pics I have... Thank you though, you saved me a drive. Anyone else to confirm?

rockyn · 11 August 2010, 07:03 AM

Also that red seconds hand is wrong. Thats the first time I've seen a pepsi sub bezel.

michalik.piotr6837 · 11 August 2010, 07:04 AM

Lol...I know...its the only pics HE had. Thanks guys....kinda what I thought...too good to be true :)

Hello and welcome to the forum.
I'm no expert, and there will probably be others with more qualified answers, but if it's meant to be a GMT, then it shouldn't have some sort of Pepsi Sub bezel I reckon? The numbers should relate to 24 hours.

Is that the second hand or the GMT hand??

I think it was ment to be a fake GMT, but the bezel is incorrect, like I said, bad fake

It's pretty blurry.
You're correct, there shouldn't be engraving on the caseback for the GMT models. Also, the hour markers don't seem correct; can't tell if its a font issue? Lastly, I presume the red hand is the 24hr. hand? If so, there should be a white triangle marker at the end. Instead, it looks to be the sweeping second hand (which should be a white hand).

Jocke · 11 August 2010, 08:02 AM

The only I can see in those pics that looks ok it's the hand that hold the "watch".

I'm not so sure Jocke, because that hand belongs to an A-Hole!

No problem do like me, say it's bad translation, you mean he is a good guy with a bad watch.

Rolesor · 11 August 2010, 08:13 AM

Is there even a GMT hand?

I thought that was the red hand but it's the second hand lol

I guess the red hand shows both seconds and the 5th time zone.
