    I am a novice and would appreciate if you guys could help me decipher if this is a fake. I am looking to buy it but I have no way of knowing if real or not . It is in a different country so I can't really go look at it

    I appreciate any help

    I suggest you request better photos. These looks like scans of poorly-focused printed photos. It looks like the dial may have been poorly cleaned, but it's really hard to conclude much based on these particular photos.

    Also recommend you request a photo of the crown and some of the case taken at an angle so you can see the lug and case edges better. And you should also make sure you know the case diameter, to be sure it is not too small for you.

    I took these with my phone from the website so they do not look as clear. I will try to upload better ones

    I was about to say it looks like you took pictures of a computer screen. Why not just screenshot the website or download the pictures and post them here?

    The photos of your computer screen were better.

    It's real. A steal? Probably not...

    It is genuine and, as far as I can tell from your pics, in decent condition.
