Hard to tell from one fuzzy pic. But the bezel pearl doesn't look right.

Could be the pic.

The winding crown looks to small, the crown guards look smaller than normal, the lugs look off and as someone pointed out the pearl looks off too. I'd say fake from that pic, but still hard to tell 100% from that pic.

Good catch on the crown being small. Also, the grooves on the crown do not look right. You know what, the whole winding crown looks funny.

In addition the font on the date wheel "11" doesn't look right.

Crown and Crown guards are wrong. As well as the pearl. Also if you look at the bezel where the 10 marker is. The bezel should go all the way out to the case where it curves towards the crown guard. This one doesn't and it's not the angle of the pic. I say Big fake !

I think the lugs are too rounded and that's enough right there.

Not a very good fake...the pearl and cg are terrible!

+1 on the crown ... comparing it to the Sub-C I am wearing right now which has a much larger crown and very little if any space between the crown and the protective lugs on either side.

Sheesh ... OP banned already?
