There is a little adage about things that appear too good to be true.
I feel like this watch is a mine field, at best.

Yea, I guess I'm trying to see what's wrong with this watch. More for educational purpose.

haha its funny when people preface their comments with 'I'm no expert, but....'

so here goes, I'm no expert but I know of one tell - look at the gap around = where the depth rating is......the gap should exist, but on fakes its wider. Study original dials, and then look at this one, decide for yourself.

From what I see the ft on the dial looks off, plus the patina looks man made.

The negative feedback from the auction site are the perfect indicator.

I feel like this watch isn't even worth 'learning about'; it's all messed up versus one or two small items that are found with vintage.
