    It resembles a contemporary 3570.50 Luminova Speedmaster... but, I agree with texasmade... looks fake.
    1. The hour markers at the 3, 6 and 9 position are too small
    2. The bezel looks wrong
    3. Hands are off too
    4. Counter sub dials are too far apart... dial is wrong

    Ok, here is my opinion.

    The roundy thingy on top of the watch used to have lovely black hair but like us all is going grey.

    The three circle thing-a-majig's on the boat race of the big plate yoke in the case like the EU are drifting apart.

    The hands are made out of actual lollipop sticks.

    Hope I haven't been too technical, I tend to do that a lot.

    so in layman's terms, its a reduced dial in a pro case. Now tell us how you did it.

    It is a fake. Took me a minute to figure out why though. At first glance it looks legit, we are not used to seeing this model faked at a passable level from a few feet.

    The subdial placement and relation to the hour indices is the key. Also note the 6 o Clock subdial pushes into the step...

    Looks like they’ve made some kind of effort to create a step dial too?

    I didn't get past the bezel, I know when to quit.

    I watched a video on a 500 Euro fake PP 5711 this week. I would not be surprised on anything they created. Faked fakes, even..

    The distance apart of the subdials was the giveaway for me.
