A Better Eye Needed

So I saw a nice Colt Chrono A7338710 posted locally on Craigslist.

It looks like a fake to me, but can someone with a better eye confirm it?

Not many people going to fake a colt chrono II Its a Super Quartz movement. It also sells pretty low to start with. I think your craigslist sample is legit. That piece has the numbers on the bezel blacked out. mine doesn't. Or it could be just the lighting.
Here's a shot of mine for reference.

Yeah, I'll definitely be meeting at an AD to get them to confirm it. The pictures are far from top notch.

If all is correct with the box and papers, you really have nothing to worry about!

Sounds like it wasn't worn much either haha, it's kind of cool having the braceleT W/O endlinks. Gives it a vintage vibe

My bank must find me quite the odd person haha. Walking in every other week, "Could I withdrawal about 2-4k today?" like its a totally normal event.

Im doing my best to grab a Pam locally, an even better deal. ;)
