Your local AD should be able to confirm regardless of whether they have one in stock.
From what I can see it looks legit.

lol, great story. I bet his brother is a jerk lawyer from saudi arabia that I keep getting emails from, saying that I won $1 billion and that all I have to do is send him few $K for paper work... Or maybe he was the lawyer who found my long lost cousin somehwere in the middle of nowhere and he also left me a fortune. I am so lucky.
There's a Nigerian Prince looking for you too, from what I hear🙄

Speaking of fakes, I'm very much wet behind the ears, and so when I looked at the pictures of this James Bond, I thought there was a lack of detail that would seem to indicate a less than perfect watch: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/138709676
Looking at real ones, it seems legit to me. The fakes of that era really stick out.

Looks fake to me. No lug marks or serial number for a start.

Hi everyone, hoping for some quick help from folk more knowledgable that I am. Im looking at one of the newer SMP watches, as pictured. The 3 warranty cards are all numbered and metas test results available online, the caseback has the same number.
Im assuming all genuine, however given cost I’m nervous that there could be a genuine number that clones all use. Is this a concern. Or all good on this watch?

Here's another one, anyone able to confirm if this is genuine? I'm a bit suspect of the aftermarket strap and the fact there's no photos of the movement. He has also mentioned that the date ticks over at 6 instead of 12... Thanks very much😀

The head is genuine. Kicking at 6:00 simply means the person who assembled the watch didn't attach the hands properly.

Hi folks, just picked this one up used with no box and papers. I checked all the details I could find online, it looks genuine, but I would appreciate the opinions of you fine folks.

I'm aware of the scratched crystal, it allowed me to pick it up at a killer price.

Not an expert on current calibers, but it all looks fine to me.

Hello,
I'm looking for some dress watch, and came to this DeVille Prestige Quartz. Price is ok (~500$), so I wanted to check whether there are some red flags before I go to check it (kinda long distance)? I'm posting some pictures of the watch

Thank you,
Nikola

Afternoon all,

A friend who has no interest in watches asked me what this might be worth as he's been given it instead of a payment he is owed. Looks very, very odd to my untrained eye and the more I look the more horrible it seems! But what do I know.

Came with an equally strange IWC and Panerai. Sorry about the terrible pictures, but it's all I've been sent! Any thoughts please? Thank you in advance.

Subdial at 3 is a big enough tell.

Purchased this Planet Ocean 8900 from a forum member with good feedback. No reason to believe it’s fake it came with box, paperwork, cards etc. Just wanted the peace of mind since it’s the most expensive watch I ever purchased. Everything seems pretty legit. Not sure if it’s my eyes or not but the square market above the 12 seems slightly off or tilted or something. Very slightly. Or “Seamaster” is crooked but maybe it’s the angle or the S. Could be the angle or reflection. Anyone see anything off? Or looks good. I can take pictures of the movement too.
