·Please help me. I found this with my grandfather and I'm most certain this is fake. I haven't seen the movement yet.
Can someone please tell me if this is fake.

·Yes, fake subdial at 3 shouldn't be a 24h counter.

·Just curious if this is actually an automatic movement, or quartz.

·Probably because we are wise to uncle watches.
Here's a ChatGPT sob story:
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm reaching out for some help and guidance. I recently inherited a watch from a family member who passed away, and I'm trying to learn more about it. To be honest, it's been a tough few months and I'm still trying to process everything. My family member was a bit of a mysterious person, and I never really got to talk to them about their interests or hobbies.The watch was left to me in their will, and I'm not even sure where they got it from. It's a beautiful piece, but I don't know anything about its history or value. I've tried to do some research on my own, but I'm not sure where to start.I was hoping that some of the experts on this forum might be able to take a look at some photos of the watch and provide some insight. I'd love to know more about its origins, its condition, and whether it's a rare or valuable piece.I've attached some photos of the watch, and I'd be grateful for any information or guidance you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
[Insert photos of the watch]

··Oooo subtitles!I am sure people can make up a better one. "My brother who volunteered to X died and all I got were his belongings and this watch. Is it a legit Y?" (meanwhile the supposedly dead brother's memento appears on chrono24/eBay, surely in act of the respect to donate to causes which the dead martyr supported).
Here's a ChatGPT sob story:
That is all too believable and familiar. Throw in some kind of sob story and you have the full set. That’s Numberwang! As we say occasionally in the UK.
