My opinion now is I think that it's good.. sorry if I gave you a fright last night. Others will confirm.

See if you can get the caseback off with the sticky tape method and post a pic of the movement. That's the only sure way of knowing.

I checked the movement by watchmaker after the near death experience i had last night.

The dial IS original just not 1991 original model, still kinda on the fence about the band.

But at least the rest is original, phew.

Well thanks for the better photos, watch looks fine to me. I would have said the bracelet was fake, but "crowncollections" did say they used "split pins" - so I dont know

This pic here was the tell-tale for me..



See the crown doesn't sit in the middle of the case, it sits slightly higher towards the top/bezel. This is the way its meant to be on a genuine Sub, but a with a fake, the crown sits dead centre.

What is wrong with that picture exactly?

I think the only thing that's wrong is the missing <25 on the dial, i could be wrong though.

I think you all need to take a chill pill... These photos are average at best and don't tell the whole story. Just take it to a deal and stop with the nonsense.
