If you look closely on one of the photos the rehaut it is engraved.

Total fake as that should be on from a much later model.

Really unique Submariner.
Previous owner wore everyday in the water and sun. This watch is 10 yrs old and is totally browned out.
The movement is very clean and was serviced and restored by prior owner.
The rest of the watch he left the same.

Looks like it was exposed to a nuclear bomb?
Has anyone seen a "Tropical" dial this intense after 10 years??? Or is it a Craigslist special?
That's watch is fake look at the case and the rehaut engraving look at the fake dial layout. Look at the fake Cyclops poor mag .misaligned.bad font on the rehaut. Cg way off there is nothing authentic about this .It's from china

I assume now we know why the Craigslist description states, "Really unique Submariner."
