Sub-C Authenticity

Hey Guys,

Would love your opinion/comments on the authenticity of this Sub-C. Pics were taken with my iphone so the quality may not be the best. If higher quality pics are needed I can try to find a digital camera to re-take. Or if other angles are needed I can take and post. Lets hear it!

If you said so from the start I wouldn't be asking!

Looks fine to me but I'm no expert.

On these authenticate my watch threads I think it's best for the experts to give a yes or no answer, without going into why it may not be real. Just my opinion.

walk over to RSC and ask to have them pressure test it, good idea anyway and you'll know for sure about the watch....

Maybe you'll even score some Swiss chocolate

I'd take it to a reputable jewelery store to authenticate it immediately.
Just for peace of mind.
And whilst at it may be a good idea to get an appraisal too.

It's real.

Proper hands; proper pearl and the notable sticker peeling off on the right hand side ;)

If you really want to know, turn off the light and see the hands and markers glow bright. If they are inconsistent its fake.

Im 99.9% certain its real.
