My guess is it’s legit. But I’ll leave it to the experts. It looks old and Chinese didn’t focus on replicating the vintage models.

When posing a question it helps to give some details - who owns it, how long have they had it, what accessories are available etc.
I don't know much about these models, but my gut reaction was fake. |

Odd looking face. However, the truth lies deep within the heart beat. Get to an AD or very good local jeweler and have them open it to look at the movement inside. You’re long last any Waterbury period. I would ask to be present when they open it and see everything with my own eyes

From the pics provided it looks ok. Ive seen the dial before. Ask the seller for clear pics between the lugs to see the engravings
Those end links are for a 17mm lug width so im assuming its a 31mm ladies watch. Maybe a model 68273??

I think it looks fake. Two things don’t look right.

I'm not familiar with DJs. Someone will know. Fakes back then were generally really horrible though. (it's older than 10!)

I’m by no means an expert - search for reference 68273 in chrono24.
For authentication, I would visit an AD.

Looks kosher to me- the same dial style is shown in my July 2001 catalogue
on a 77518 YG OP mid-size (30mm) though the tritium dial on yours indicates 1990s or earlier Last edited by procrustes; 22 March 2020 at 05:52 AM.. Reason: more info |

could be the angle of the pic...?
Guess the only way to tell for sure is to have a watchmaker verify..

Why do people respond when they have the slightest clue. Looks like a ladies watch and I have seen the dial before. I dont see anything that jumps out and incorrect.

I love it — about half the responders say doesn’t look good, the other half say it’s ok. Good luck OP!
