Real or fake GMT2?

Cyclops seems a little off in the pic. After looking at my sub at multiple angles maybe? Thought I'd ask the experts though.

I'm pretty sure that there are two different watches shown in that listing.

There are a lot of irregularities in this watch, but it could be a Frankenwatch.

Someone else needs to weigh in.

Leaning towards authentic on both based on the amount of feedback as sellers.

Looks like the same watch in all pics. Cyclops isn't off...it is only due to the angle of the shot.

Do you have the same assessment for the 2nd watch linked in post 2? The ln? Thanks!

One that is very obvious is the fit of the SELs.

On that one (the Explorer II) the cyclops is definately out of place.
