Help: Is This a FUGAZI DateJust?
This guy is supposed to bring this watch into my shop tomorrow.. he gave me the whole "passed down from my dad" blah blah blah story about the watch.. but it looks suspect to me...
I haven't worn a Datejust since 99' So I'm not too well versed on these What do you guys think?

I can't find any Legit pictures of a Datejust with the Diamonds AND Markers in the same place... BUT I found a picture of a FAKE that looks the same!
  Can anyone else chime in? Last edited by KingTafari; 2 August 2011 at 07:52 AM.. Reason: spelling |

I am not saying it is a fake. But, the cyclops, in the first photo, with no portion of the date visable makes me suspect.

Skepticism
I would be highly skeptical because I'm guessing he doesn't have any of the paperwork. The best way is to open the back of the watch. Don't purchase unless you are 100% certain. Not worth the risk.

hi, these photos dont show much unfortunately, the dial looks aftermarket to me the font and where the diamonds are set a bit far in from the side, however we need photos of the numbers between the lugs and definetely a clear close up of the clasp markings and endpiece markings to make a good judgement on this watch regards
