It's you cause nobody here can see it.

Usually when people ask if a watch is real they show a picture or a link to e-bay.

i would not buy it you can see discolouration of the luminous markers, the dial to me is the most important thing you see, any flaws annoy me with one exception, on a vintage watch, then of course you would never replace it
