That has got to be the most amusing fake I've seen since I joined this forum! Truly awful!

Stick it out all you want but it is 100% fake-end of story!

Ps- the rare early sbs Milsub has been yanked!

On the compost heap .
Ken can sleep in peace tonight . And _Ma , I suggest you do not stick your neck out for things like that , it would considerably reduce your chances to reach retirement age . This is at best a modified 5513 case and some recup parts . The rest is downright forgery .

The bezel is dodgy but I'd want to check the movement. as for the hostility and in-house jokes, I'm out.

He can't --he ran out after a bit of humor. ma--that is what happens when you stick your neck out--the head comes off! Best advice--don't do it unless you know the subject matter really well--
that way you stick around and not leave in a hurry without the head!!
