Hi all, I bought a 1680 and wanted to have your opinions on the watch especially the case/caseback... seller said it's a 2.7Xm serial but the engravings have faded off. is this genuine, especially case / caseback
Can't really see the serial in its entirety so i uploaded a video..

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what you have is a fake.

Fake case, Fake engravings, Fake case back.

It appears to be from Vietnam and I have seen those engravings before and the engraver is Vietnamese living in USA with a website advertising the same.

Try and get your money back fast before its too late...

x2 sorry but the case is fake, I would pursue a refund as soon as possible. I hope this works out for you.

Where did you buy the watch? And did the seller guarantee that the case (and, I suppose, the rest of it) was original, or at least authentic?

Is the case peeling apart (lug in left corner of video)?

Thank you for the pm lambda! There are several threads covering this topic, use the search function. Hope you get your money refunded.

Looking at the images and video you posted I’m pretty sure the seller knew the case was fake.

I tried searching for engravings and serials but mostly all of them have expired ebay links! do you have some examples?
