Just cruising around and loved the look of this watch. Not any sort of collector just a generally interested person.

Can anyone confirm or deny that this watch is real or fake?

Without a movement picture, it's difficult to say for sure. Need to see the case reference number on the inside of the case.

The website seems to have a lot of oddly redialed watches.

Prices are quite high also. I'd be wary.😒

While a pretty watch and you could do alot worse, it appears to me to be a redial or at least repainted, there are not enough pics to tell if it is real or not. It also appears overpolished, which also brings down its value to a collector.

Side note if you really like the look of that watch, but want to save alot of money, get an Orient Bambino v3 with a black dial. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WKLOSJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_28Y3wb0QAR15S

There are plenty of reviews on this watch with a great workhorse inhouse automatic movement. The Orient is slightly larger, but not drastically 36mm vs 38mm.

I appears to me the pictures on that site were manipulated (e.g. photoshopped) to improve the appearance of the watches.

Those are the same thing. A redial is when the dial has been repainted. It may well be the original disc of metal but a repaint is a redial.

Shouldn't it have some kind of building on the caseback?

Very scary site, the watches are all claimed, "refurbished". Huge staff for a watch sales company, looks like a boiler room type operations.
Run and run fast. 😲
