Hello, I purchased this from a grey dealer and want to know if you guys think this looks off.

Looks fake to me. Text spacing looks off and the numbers on the bezel aren't as thick as they should be.

VERY hard to tell with those pics- although I'm am saying it's Fake. there are a couple of questionable "tells".

It’s hard to get a quality picture to upload with the size limits on here

Codes77 · 2 March 2023, 06:41 AM

Here’s another picture

No issues, looks fine.

Knappo 1307 · 2 March 2023, 12:32 PM

Looks fine to me also.

The crown on the crystal almost look too good. Not sure how you were able to capture that. My understanding is the dots are engraved at varying depths and so it won't look so even.

amphr1 · 2 March 2023, 03:59 PM

Do you have pic of the clasp?

The molten glass bubbles are on the same plane.

This Subdate is genuine.

The watch is fine and its very doubtful if even a grey dealer would knowingly sell anything fake.

This is what concerned me. in most NEW Subs, the crown is VERY hard to see under magnification. the fakes show up easier.

It took me several attempts of zooming and focusing my iPhone camera held very close to the crystal

I don't see any issues.

How in the world were you able to get such a great shot of the LEC?! Kudos.

Watch looks good.

Codes77 · 3 March 2023, 10:31 AM

Put my camera up to the glass and zoomed in and adjusted several times to get it to focus. It took several tries

I think it looks good. If unsure, bring to a local expert to he can look it over and take a look at the movement.

Also the color of the bezel markings -especially the 50 on the looks off- but that's probably just the angle of the photo.

I own three Subs - I am pretty familiar with them..

This might be the best photo of an etched crown I have ever seen. Nice work!!
