Yeah a few things looked off to me also. But couldn’t tell if it was just the angle of the pic.

This. That being said the fakers have started to master the correct hand stack. Platinum paint on the bezel markers looks good though.

Lume on markers looks a different colour to hands. Unsure - I'm very wary of Ceramics. Amazing what the fake factories are churning out for 400 bucks lately.

Looks like mine. Even the little second indices line up to the same spots on the rehault.

I'm not sure about this one, personally.

I can't put my finger on it, but it just doesn't look right.

Maybe it's the camera lens.

How much was it? Was it worth it not going to David?

It was a while ago. I think he wanted 6k. Not worth the headache.

I believe you made a wise decision.
From the photos, I see some red flags and would want to either see it or have an AD verify the serial number

Thats my opinion

The difference in the hands and markers is different due to having less space on the hands for lume. The true test is to see if it’s 3186 movement and if the hands turn clockwise instead of the chs eta mod. Otherwise the bezel looks genuine

On the pic with the wood background the slightly blue hands vs white markers doesn't look at all normal to me. Oh, there's a visible ding on the top left lug in both the wood and funny mat pics. Same watch in those two.

Good for you on passing jrs146. Comparing the watch to mine, there are a few differences that make it suspicious.

Good catch. Given that it's a V serial with an original dial, the lume plots glow green. The hands could be service units that were improperly replaced with later blue lume rather than the earlier and correct green lume.

I'd ask the seller for a photo in a dark setting after a light charge. I'll bet that the dial glows green and hands glow blue.

It's a pass despite being authentic. Josh made a good call there.
