Is this Explorer II 1655 real?

Hi, is this Expl. II real or is there a chance that it could be a fake or a franken?

According to seller is the Hour, minute and 24hr hands probably replacements.

Thanks in advance

It is counterfeit. It was probably made by the con artists that host the "forbidden web site" that is notorious for selling this junk.

Yup, long E's again.....likely means the case is at least fake....and not a good sign for the rest of the watch...

What's up with all these new members registering asking about a fake watch and disappearing? Seems people buy or make a fake and then try to see if we think it's real....not saying these may not be legitimate posts...

That's why I hate telling 'new' members whats wrong with these fakes. It's like they are fishing for information to make their fakes better.

What's up with the jacked lettering and isn't the sweep hand completely wrong?
