Does this look right to you guys? I've always wanted one but I know there are a huge number of fakes out there.
It's literally in my cart right now ready ro checkout 馃ぃ馃ぃ

Case with the twisted lugs seems right, caseback seems right with the HF answer SP2 stamp, serial number is spot on. I'm just not certain on the dial and bezel.

I'd say B or C maybe? Does it look good or am I going to have to keep looking?

I am not an expert, but everything looks a off when compared to an original. The bezel, proportions of the dial markings, texture of the lume. The case looks poorly defined etc.

If you picked B or C, I鈥檇 just go ahead and buy Brand New and be done with it.

If you鈥檙e seeing a big triangle for a really affordable price, then that鈥檚 your first red flag. Half the reason there are so many of these posts is because people get suckered into the low prices.

One with a nice, clean patina dial and a clean original bezel is easily worth around $7k to 10k these days. If it鈥檚 on ebay, it will be snapped up relatively quickly.

If you see a watch like the above around $5k or under, it is most often fake.
