Make sure you get the back taken off and the movement inspected. It very well be a wm9 replica. They are about90% correct looking. The Yuki replica movement can be spotted by examining the balance bridge. It will have two pieces when the genuine movement has one.

Be aware there are many fake watches with genuine movements.

Bezel is typical fake crap. Movement will also be typical fake crap. Don't bother checking anything. Tell your friend he's an a-hole.

I guess since the photos are poor, I just glanced at it and it seemed maybe genuine. Then I read the fake posts and took another look. It looks fake to me as well now.

One is all you need. Better that one person be right and not take the risk.

Like others have said, you need better pictures. There is no excuse for someone trying to sell something. You want 7K for a watch. Provide better pictures.

I want to say the lume pots look off (at the very least), but it could just be the terrible pictures.

Dude understand that we see this all the time. It's important that you procure serious pictures because when they are deliberately poor it's hard on the eyes. Luckily in this case, despite the seller's best fuzzy efforts, the bezel is still identifiable as a crap quality fake part of Chinese manufacture used on crap quality fakes of Chinese manufacture. If you're still confused I suggest you look at some of the real ones on here. You're welcome.

As an iPhone 5 user I take exception to that disparaging remark. The 5 takes gorgeous high rez pics. These were taken with an android phone.

Sorry friend, that watch is fake. Want to confirm easily? Have it weighed. Fakes don't use real platinum.

Like with other fakes, the diameter of the hour plots are too big. Other give aways have been noted, but once you notice one flaw, it's fake and there will be others.

Haha He's still using that android phone. Bezel looks nothing like the one on a real YM. Tell him to go get it authenticated by Rolex and then you'll talk.
