2007 GMT II
I am not an expert so I have to ask the knowledgeable people here.
Is this GMT a Fake?

diablojota · 7 July 2007, 12:34 AM

I say fake, and primarily b/c the date window and font looks off as well as the paint on the red hand.

padi56 · 7 July 2007, 12:58 AM

Never seen a Triplock and large crown on pepsi GMT before so that should be the biggest clue.

Robb · 7 July 2007, 02:04 AM

Triple lock crown, font looks funny. I am not an expert but it looks alot different than my GMT. I say fake!

miner · 7 July 2007, 02:09 AM

This one is real

Check the crown on mine

Exactly!

And the cyclops doesn't magnify properly. And the hour hand looks strange.

FAKE!

The question here is NOT what's wrong with the watch, but what's right with it??!!

Thanks Padi. I'm so used to looking at my Sub that one escaped my eye.

nko51 · 7 July 2007, 02:30 AM

Big time fake!

GerardoG · 7 July 2007, 02:42 AM

Fak-o. Arrow, date, crown (on the pic it's a trip-lock as used on SUB & SD, real deal uses the same crown as DJ, DD, EXP...twin-lock)

widespreadpanic · 7 July 2007, 02:48 AM

All great info for spotting fakes.
It is amazing what is out there.

fake watch 100%

globalphotographic · 7 July 2007, 03:38 AM

red paint stops short, has been seen in rare cases, but I'd not bet my money on that was the case here - fake's way moew likely :-(

Saw it on Ebay.
Is there anyway to combat this?
Seems like Ebay would have certification measures for such items.
I know that seems like a tall order.
