Looks fine to me. It's not the best lighting and there are shadows to the left of the watch because of it. But, I see nothing wrong with it. What about it jumps out as fake to you? With the increasing quality of some fakes nowadays, you'll need to see the movement to be sure me thinks.

Nothing that stands out as a fake. Not the best picture but it looks O.K. I like the new lume on that model myself.

I don't think bezel font magically gets thinner with poorer photography. Nor do date openings get less beveled.

Impossible to tell whether it's good or fake on the first picture .

To the OP...
Your posting up a crappy,grainy picture + you seem to know the answer already.....
Like you can even see the beveled date window from that shot.....
Why are you asking??? I'm getting the feeling you are baiting here.......

Lets see a better photo and maybe you'll get more answers!!!

Don't have a better pic cause it's not my watch. And the poser who's watch it is refuses to provide better pic. Poser said to post on TRF and see how everyone will say it's not fake.

Grainy picture or not, I think the difference in bezel font is enough to say fake. Anyone else agree?

Is all the hostility necessary? What would I be baiting exactly?

Ok - chill, Ob. No hostility here. Bottom line is - the picture is not enough to make any conclusion. If the 'poser' doesn't want to provide better pics, and you're considering buying - simple, walk away.

Obmto, are you "one of those guys", looking for a "gotcha" moment here?

If you are not buying this watch, and the picture is not conclusive, why do you care? Let me guess, the guy is not selling the watch either, he's just showing it off or something? If I'm right, then why do you care? From what I see, the watch looks OK. But, like I said, to be sure, you either must get better pics, or see the movement. And, if the watch is not yours, and will not be yours, then let it go. Then, it does not matter. It's not like the owner has an obligation to show you anything, right? Now, if you are buying it, that's a different story.

So you are ok with people passing fakes off as gens because it's not for sale? I guess brand reputation means nothing to you.

Your comment is so childish, I'm not even going to address it.
