The lugs look off. At 6 o'clock right lug is shorter than left. The bracelet has a lot of stretch.

I would pass.

The crystal (or maybe glass) looks off as do the gaps in the bracelet. Very suspicious therefore fake IMO.

It appears good. Since you have the paperwork and tag, you should be able to remove the bracelet and verify the serial number.

The dial appears proper for the time period "Swiss Made" but I would prefer to see a close up of that area of the dial.

Hopefully the price is good for you!

Looks good to me...lots of wear though, numbers in between the lugs will say it all

would tend to sugest its genuine ,,, but its scruffy , id pass on by , and find something that you would be happier to own.

Looks genuine, but a bit beat up, I'd pass on this one.

I agree, the watch looks genuine and if the price is right - buy it!!! (Nice, complete, circa 2000 Subs are selling for around $4400-$4800.)

The papers are genuine , if the numbers between the lugs match. Your looking good. I can't see anything that stands out that looks fake.

Solid end links? On a P-serie?

MoBe, you are right, was it around 2000 this changed?

Prior to the P series the bracelet is 93150 with 501B End Links.
The 93250 has SEL's and were fitted with the P and after.
Here are 2 pictures.

Both watch and band look good to me.
The band is not in good condition, take that into account.
