The first thing i wonder about is the LEC its far too prominent, usually it is very hard to see with the naked eye, this raises concerns, also the markers on the face and the rehaut engraving don't look quite right, cyclops and date look suspect also...I suspect you know if this watch is real or fake without asking.

It looks funky...the pearl looks off too. The rehaut engraving looks too shallow...is this on ebay?
Where are you getting these pics from?

Heads up..this watch is 100% Fake..how do i know, well let me just say that a certain replica forum has exactly the same watch for sale with identical pictures, i had my suspicion, and coincidentally a friend of mine who is a member of the RWG Forum was talking about the Ceramic Sub, and then this pops up..Seems that the OP was fishing for remarks regarding this sub to see if it could be carried off as real only one way to tell is to run it by the members on this forum..who all had their reservations!

This thread proves it's damn hard to get anything of questionable authenticity past the members on this forum

Definitely fake! The shape of the "wg" surroundings for the markers is wrong and the screwheads in the bracelet are wrong, too and so is the lume pip on the bezel. Plus the engraving in the rehaut is a joke!
If someone offered me such a watch, I would ask for pics from the end links (rear side) and of the engraving inside of the clasp. The fact, that he carefully photographed around these spots would tell me enough about the authenticity. |
