Is there enough in this photo to prove it's genuine?

If so, is it real? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Looks fake to me, but it could be the crappy photo. Marker surrounds look too thick.

Why do you ask?

Are you set on buying it? If so, what do you know about the seller?

Looks fake to me. The dial, bezel, glass, and hands all look off to me. Ask for better pictures.

Thanks. Not set on buying it, just trying to learn, and have been engaging the seller in conversation. Trying to get some better photos at this point.

Don’t buy the watch first... buy the seller first!

From the pic, the magnification doesn’t look 2.5x...

Buy from a trusted TRF seller or an AD. The sub is the most counterfeited watch in the world, and some of the fakes look very real!

JMHO, but there is never absolute evidence in a photo to prove authenticity. However, there can be indisputable evidence proving a watch to be counterfeit.

The best indicator of a watch’s authenticity is the reliability and reputation of the seller.

At $3K it is a priced to attract suckers. Scammer looking for a quick score.
