My brother was with some of his friends this morning comparing watches and he sent me this pic and was kinda shocked when I told him I think it's fake(not his watch). Bracelet looked real bad, and Swiss seems to be rubbed off the dial could be the pic but I doubt it. complications date and time we're not even close to accurate.

Thoughts?

In my opinion photos are not good enough to confirm100% either way,

"SWISS" could just be the reflection.
REHAUT looks good from the 15% I can make out.
Why not get a photo of backside showing the lugs?

Gen as in genuine? I woulda bet the farm it was a super fake ..... Something always rubs me the wrong way when I see a watch at 10am set to 5 with the wrong month and wrong date and watch Looks daily driven to say the least.

sorry, but there is.
I have held and photographed one (not this model) under a HD 500X Electronic Microscope.

They exist.
