Help report this ebay fake 16613 bluesy.

Seller is in denial that it's fake...

Maybe aftermarket dial/bezel? Why so sure it's a fake? Bracelet markings look spot on.

Actually, the clasp is the most obvious telltale.

Well I have the exact same watch. I bought it brand new in 1983 ... and the one in the picture looks legit. My clasp looks exactly the same too.

If the thumb recess on your clasp looks exactly like that then your clasp is also counterfeit.

Umm... you are right. Mine is straight and the lock doesn’t have lines going through it.
My bad ...

Sorry, but you are not correct. There are multiple telltale signs that the watch is fake.

The seller voluntarily ended the listing. Maybe they had it checked out? Ebay never did pull the sale and it had 3 outstanding offers at one point.

Lume plots look like $#!+ from what I can see. Well done for saving a potential newb from buying that pos.
