1655--What do Do?

[pablofields]

Found this suspect 1655 off the beaten track. Outfit called The Watch Company (dba on ebay as "watchco1974").

The dial appears to be fake. Wrong style coronet for a "T Swiss T" dial. Also the "T"s are inside the minute markers, another telltale sign. And, the hands do not look authentic.

And then there is the pile of crapola in the description: never circulated or worn Original condition

That bezel looks way off the mark to me too Pablo, the 4's are a huge giveaway, the rehaut also looks wrong, angle is way off, opinions guys, Buddy Steve (Lol-x) and Pav, your proud owners, show em off guys :-)
