    Hi there,

    I am being offered this watch - all I currently have are 3 pics

    I see the obvious: the hands are not original and the glass has a chip at 10 - how about the rest of the watch? Fake or real?


    thx in advance for helping me out

    cheers, Al

    I'm no expert but that looks spurious on so many levels... the crown looks like it's trying to escape from it's guards, and the bezel must have been designed by the guy that invented space invaders.

    I'm definitely no expert either, but that just looks terrible.

    Run. That is a total fake. To add insult to injury, the bracelet does not fit.

    fake. the hour markers should have black surrounds.

    the braclet's a clear fake (folded links ??)

    bezel is totally wrong as well.

    steer clear from this watch.

    There actually were EXP IIs which had the polar dial with white gold surrounds instead of black but this one is definitely a knockoff.

    Did you even bother googling for 5 minutes what a legitimate one looks like? If you are running out to buy a second hand watch with no knowledge and no interest in trying to get some understanding you are probably heading for trouble. Stay safe out there.

    extra fake- typeface on the arabic numerals on the bezel are horrendous, typeface is incorrect on the dial, sizing is off, minute hand is wrong...

    What @calalum said. I'm no expert, but holy hell is this a bad fake.

    Laughed out loud as soon as I saw the bezel. A lot going on with this piece (of s...) and none of it is good

    Even if it was 100% real I'd stay far, far away. That thing just looks hideous on so many levels.
