Authenticity judgement appreciated!!
Hey I've just been handed a rather beaten up watch from a grandparent and was wondering as to whether it is a genuine or a fake.
It's a ladies datejust oyster perpetual with the regular text, as well as crystals on the watch face itself. The back is clear, and the watch clasp carries says "registered swiss made" with M12, 6248-19, and "steelinox". I've attached a few pictures. (though the file size limit renders them almost pointless). Many thanks for any replies! Merry Christmas! |

Merry Xmas!
Yeah pics are too lowres to see any useful details. What's the providence of the original owner though... did she buy the watch herself or given it for a special occasion? Is she into luxury timepieces in general? How did the watch get damaged... would original owner be the type to wear an expensive watch whist wrenching under the car, or it fell off and got roadrashed whilst she was on the Vespa? |

Pics not great, but from what I can see the date looks too low of mag in the middle pic, so fake imo until better pics are provided

The date is tiny... I think it's a fake.

Pronounced gap in end link-they should be well placed seating close with the inner lug.
Most telling is the cyclops magnification. Number should jump in it's 2.5 times bigger. Have it seen by a watchmaker/AD for good measure... |

Thanks very much for the replies, I was erring toward the same conclusion but will take it to get checked out to be sure. Merry Christmas!
