are you saying on gens you cannot see the top of the canon pinion? cuz it can be seen on pretty much every watch.

that being said, i'd really like to see the serial and model number engravings.

Here's the other side of the clasp hinge, it was hard to get a picture of it clearly. Apologize for all the fingerprints.

With nothing on the case, you're definitely looking at a fake.

Decent quality fake, my guess is they used a genuine dial.

It is a tricky one, but there are quite a few red flags for that one. The dial is actually quite a mess.

It's hard to believe that someone would go that far to create a counterfeit with no model number or serial number engraved on the case.

Some of the worst I've seen, have those.

I am not "cheeky" since I am telling you guys the truth.

Anyway, I'm out.
