What do you think? Any thoughts on the legitimacy of this ad? Price seems awesome but advertised as SS but pictures are of TT. Any insight on serial number?

The first thing I noticed is the symbol above the six marker. The second thing I notice is the tritium markings below the six marker "T Swiss Made T". No tritium these days. It's Luminova now. I wouldn't touch it.

Pics show a W serial, putting this watch produced in the mid 90's. I would be very cautions of craigslist, unless you know exactly what to look for.

If the W serial tag is correct, the markings at the bottom of the dial should read Swiss Made T<25. However, the ad states brand new. It could be NOS, but the red-edged sticker on the clasp looks like the stickers today. Hmmm... I will read what some other folks think.

You folks are a great source of information. Appreciate the insight.

Wouldn't touch it. And the price is not all that great today.

I believe the symbol at the 6 is UAE, but not sure. I have seen it before though.

Still, it doesn't feel right to me.
