Watch

That's because it's a cell phone camera and I didn't have time to take another picture. The watch is not in my possession.

I guess the one posted on this ebay link is real. It's a Corum Admiral's Cup.

Your watch is a fake.

Supposedly a chronograph but with no sub dial second counter.

..... like this one. A genuine one.

I'm guessing all your "Is this real" threads are rhetorical.

Also look how the 12 9 6 3 (on the subdial ?) is in reverse order here on this one. I think I found that type of error in another fake watch I found.

No, not rhetoric, actually getting opinions. Why?

Thank you, I suspected it was fake after looking at the backwards 12 9 6 3.

The post stays unless a moderator has reason to remove it.

Every post is like the stroke of a brush on canvas and eventually a picture will emerge.

A lot of canvas gets wasted here in the WatchOut section and very few paintings are ever completed.
