I inherited this watch from my grandfather back in the mid 90's. I've been told it's fake on another forum, but it never hurts for second opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Added to the don't fall for fakes thread. The good news, @Piefairy, is the watch will live forever on this board.

No big deal. It runs like a champ.

Every fake that gets hammered makes all the other fakes just that little bit more valuable!

In 50 years those fakes will likely command a higher price than the originals as their rarity and parentage ethos will transcend their illegitimate parentage.

I don't think that's how it works.
