non of those are very popular and probably not very valuable.
You will have to do something with that bright glowing thing.
Maybe take a "Sharpie" to the Lume would tone it down a bit..

Hate to break the news to you Al, but the sub could be a fake. Have you noticed how the LCD time does not match the hands? Or it could be a rare prototype GMT!!!. Send it to a RSC for varification - you could have a rare bird on your hands.

Martin, I'm pretty sure they're real. He said he bought them from this gray market dealer:




or maybe it was this one:

I think I can help you establish authenticity, but we'll need to see inside the watch.

You will need to open the case back up, pull out the movement and disasemble it so we can see ALL the parts... preferably like this below... then I can tell you what it's worth!

Heya guys,

So the consensus is these are fakes. But what about them makes it suspicious? I'm not taking about what the guy is doing/saying, just the pictures of the watches themselves.

They are not fakes... This thread is a joke regarding another thread.

Welcome to TRF. This thread is just a spoof on many other threads that start this way. Many of those other threads are just nonsense and people actually never post pictures of the watch or they post pictures of a similar watch that they take from the internet. So, this is just TRF watch humor. Hope it did not confuse you.

I inherited 3 watches from my uncle-brother (long family story) and have taken pics with 3 coins:



Question:
How many licks of tootsie roll are those 3 coins worth?
