This just doesn't look right to me:

*Date/magnification looks off.
*Bezel looks off.
*Printing ("Swiss Made") on the dial looks off.

The coronet on the flip-lock is pretty cheesy.

It does kind of look off but it is a 2006. Usually, those Anaheim guys or on the ball although I've not heard some not so nice things about their salespeople.

The watch is good IMO!

x2.... possibly an aftermarket crystal but the watch itself looks to be ok.

I dunno. The more I look at it, the more I think it's fake (or heavily modified with aftermarket parts).

#1. The dial is off. It looks matte as opposed to the correct "granulated" texture, and the "Swiss Made" text doesn't look right.

#2. The date is off. The date wheel is not centered in the dial window (vertically or horizontally), and the magnification is way off.

#3. The Bezel is off. The numbers look way too rounded. The numbers on the real bezel are flat.

#4. The clasp is off. The coronet looks fake/cheap. The thumbnail shouldn't extend to the first crease in the clasp either. Also, the pic of the inner clasp is conveniently overexposed so the date code & bracelet number cannot be seen.

Maybe just a really bad camera, but I'm still calling shenanigans!
