I am so baffled. How can you tell ANYTHING from that crappy picture?
I've been reading this subforem for about a year and still can't figure this stuff out.
Am I missing a picture or just give up on this.

A blind WIS could recognize this as a fake across a smoky room.

Have the owner send you a video. Set a scale to 0, then weigh it. You should know from that if it’s real :)

Normally a bad picture does make it difficult.

Given what this watch is, even a bad picture cannot hide junk.

Go look at a real one and you will see immediately the issues.

Looks good to me! Make sure to put it on eBay for an absurd price if you are selling! Excellent picture quality by the way. That’s exactly what i would be looking for when buying a $60,000 + watch.

Sesame oil is probably not the recommended lubricant for the movement but I am sure it will work just fine.
