Fake-a-roo

Magnification does not look good. Bad pictures, 1-feedbacker... Referred to as a Wrist watch, not a rolex...Hmmmm...

Be careful here!

An obvious, very poor fake. In addition to the magnification window, the M in Yacht-Master is wrong. Take note of the "v" in the M, and compare it to an authentic YM, among other things.

I am new here, and, believe it or not, learned the "M thing" right here on this forum. I wish I could remember who posted it so that I could give proper credit, but I am just happy to know it and be able to pass it on to the other fine folks here at TRF!

To give credit where credit is due, I found the thread in which the "M" is referenced - Thanks for the info on the "M", Al "Alcan".
