so whats the verdict?

adrianp · 25 July 2011, 01:02 PM

anyone?

Mr JJ · 25 July 2011, 03:23 PM

The first thing i wonder about is the LEC its far too prominent, usually it is very hard to see with the naked eye, this raises concerns, also the markers on the face and the rehaut engraving don't look quite right, cyclops and date look suspect also...I suspect you know if this watch is real or fake without asking.

adrianp · 26 July 2011, 03:21 AM

i had suspicion on the lec too... just needed someone other than me to confirm if my suspicions were true.

T-Rip · 26 July 2011, 03:28 AM

It looks funky...the pearl looks off too. The rehaut engraving looks too shallow...is this on ebay?
Where are you getting these pics from?

adrianp · 26 July 2011, 03:45 AM

yup the more i look at it the more those things stand out.
and haydendillon.. im just looking at pics of subs, online (yes i enjoy looking at them that much lol) i came across this and wasnt couldnt tell at first. now that you guys pointed those things out it will help me in spotting fakes in the future thanks!

(dont worry i wont make anymore of these threads of random watches)

robertneville · 27 July 2011, 03:09 AM

I like that you do...educate yourself is a great thing..so you dont get stuck with a fake POS....no need to apologize..I do the same thing

Mr JJ · 30 July 2011, 06:04 PM

Heads up..this watch is 100% Fake..how do i know, well let me just say that a certain replica forum has exactly the same watch for sale with identical pictures, i had my suspicion, and coincidentally a friend of mine who is a member of the RWG Forum was talking about the Ceramic Sub, and then this pops up..Seems that the OP was fishing for remarks regarding this sub to see if it could be carried off as real only one way to tell is to run it by the members on this forum..who all had their reservations!

NHav8or · 1 August 2011, 06:26 AM

Right on JJ! you beat me to saying this. . .

adrianp · 1 August 2011, 10:20 AM

BOA · 1 August 2011, 10:47 AM

BOA · 2 August 2011, 02:38 AM

I see. Now, to ask the OP, where did you get the pics, adrianp?

adrianp · 2 August 2011, 05:25 AM

off of an image search, noted they were from photo-bucket and saw more after these

bayerische · 2 August 2011, 07:05 AM

Fake.

Mr JJ · 2 August 2011, 09:56 AM

This thread proves it's damn hard to get anything of questionable authenticity past the members on this forum

bondtoys · 2 August 2011, 11:45 PM

Definitely fake! The shape of the "wg" surroundings for the markers is wrong and the screwheads in the bracelet are wrong, too and so is the lume pip on the bezel. Plus the engraving in the rehaut is a joke!

If someone offered me such a watch, I would ask for pics from the end links (rear side) and of the engraving inside of the clasp. The fact, that he carefully photographed around these spots would tell me enough about the authenticity.
