Real or fake?

Looks OK, but I'm sure one of the real experts will chime in soon.

...be careful...

...of what I can SEE in the pic's, the band is NON-descending in thickness...which would be suspect FAKE.

...but like I say, based on the pic's.

Stan.

Stan, I agree with you on the band, but it is hard to discern for sure whether the band is genuine based on the pics.

The crown and crown lugs, along with the dial font appear genuine based on my observations when the photos are magnified significantly.

I think the watch looks good but that is my opinion. You should try to get reference numbers and other pictures to get a good definite decision.

IMO those marker surrounds look too thick and the 'o' diver release mark too pronounced. I would want to hold this one prior to purchase.
