The hour markers have too much metal surrounding them, the band buckle is not germaine to the watch, the crown is all wrong, the coronet on the crown looks horrible, you can see the laser etched coronet on the crystal too clearly, it's an f series watch on the chapter ring branding which is not accurate, Rolex written on the inner ring looks horrible, the bezel looks engraved and wrong color, hands are too wide, seconds hand looks too big of circle in the center and looks cheap and too long, the white circle on the seconds hand is too big, the lume is uneven, the triangle is too big and not elongated, the band is totally off from the real McCoy, the center links on a real Submariner are not polished, it looks like a GMT IIc band instead of a Submariner, the crown guards are too wide, the hologram looks like a joke, where the spring bar is inserted in the band the open holes are not long enough and aren't round enough at the end, the bezel edge is too big and wide, and on and on.

I think this is supposed to be a fake of the new basel '08 model...

It lists itself as an "M" series watch. The new Submariner watch at Basel '08 is a white gold or 18K yellow gold. If it's trying to emulate the new watch then it looks worse than that. It's still a dog. And a dog is a dog.

Terry,

As a fellow Michigander and sometime roadie (also sometime non-roadie - Yes, a Klein made me a some-time convert) who is, unfortunately chained to his desk today, shouldn't you be out riding!!?? It's a bit muggy, yes, but it beats November!

And, yes, that's about as crappy a fake as I've seen in a long while!

I was on a road trip for business today. I am riding in the Ride Around Torch on Sunday. 62 or 100 miler. It's a beautiful ride. Where do you reside in Michigan? Please PM me if you do not want this to be public knowledge. I would have some interesting information about some authorized dealer's in Michigan if you are interested.

The watch looks ok, but get some photos of the clasp and markings, one small photo is not definitive by any stretch of the imagination.
