Help!!!! Explorer Questions?

When I asked questions about what the T <25 dial was doing on a watch with no holes I was told the watch was a fake but was given no further explanation. I know there were watches made without Tritium which received the T <25 markings. Are there other signs in these photos which indicate it is a fake. Please back channel contact me so that I can proceed appropriately. Also feel free to comment whether or not you believe this watch to be real. I'm curious as to the concensus. I've already told the seller I believe it to be a fake, I need more to go on than a single opinion as the earlier thread was quickly shut down.

Mucho gracias (and thanks, too),

Lee

Big time fake there, font is way off and these never came with "nipple" markers LOL

Thanks,

Are these what you mean by nipple markers?

No he means they are so bad (thick) that they look like nipple markers. The 369 are way off too. Plus the hands are wrong.

You were given further explanation as soon as I saw you sent a PM. Mods have lives outside of TRF. The thread was quickly shut down because the watch is a fake. The rules clearly state no discussion of fakes. The reasons you were given in this thread are the same as I explained to you before I saw this thread.

Thanks for the help. Still trying to convince a seller of the fraud.

Replied to you back channel as I was trying to keep this discussion. Sorry my approach didn't work. Please feel free to close the thread as I guess I now understand the issues.

Thanks again for the help.
