Joe, if it's a fake it's a good one, take it to an AD.

So hard to tell from pictures alone sometimes... the date magnification looks iffy to me, but again, need better and more pics... also the gold surrounds look too thick to me as well.

As you can tell from the watch with the bracelet off, it's a fake. The links and bezel are 18k gold. Just wanted to get some pictures up to show what is out there.
I read in Watchtime that last year there were 26 million authentic swiss watches exported in 2008, (40 million fakes!!!!!)

The engraving between the lugs is a dead giveaway. They look as if they were made with an etching machine, not smooth as they should be.

BTW POLFY DESIGN? WTFO?

The glow-in-the dark indicator on the bezel appears to be too large (maybe its just the angle of the photos - but i don't think so).

When I posted only the top 4 photos were in the first post. With the bracelet off there is no question! Why did the op not post those pictures in the first place?

If your buying it get it checked by an RSC & inform the seller it will be confiscated if fake.

If you already own it, keep it & enjoy it.
