Hi Guys, this has come up on the Bay in Australia, i've done a bit of homework and the bracelet appears to be fake, can anyone with more knowledge confirm this? As for the watch head i'm not sure, I'm no expert, the crown guards look fat but difficult to tell from the angles, any help would be appreciated.

If he cleans the watch it will even look worse. He’s trying to disguise it. The “I found it” is always a dead giveaway. It’s up there with the “old girlfriend/ex-wife gave it to me” and “it was part of an estate.”

Hey there Mr 57 posts, if you don't have anything constructive to say I suggest you go and troll somewhere else! You'll find with experience that this is a friendly site where all members can have an open and free discussion without some asshat chiming in with a worthless comment, go f**k yourself!

Lol yea I'm opinionated but it comes with experience. I was just curious because I figured everyone here was a watch enthusiast like me and just absorbed all the information at hand in these forums. I spent weeks looking through all this stuff here and very much enjoyed it, so something as obviously fake as this...initially I thought this was a fun sarcastic thread because 720 posts and been here for 3 years so surely he knew but then I saw it was a genuine question and I was like wow really? Lol

I wont respond though to jackster reply and start a flame thread. I dont swear at people or name call.

I am a watch enthusiast, that's why i'm here. I admit that I don't have an eye for detail, and yes although I have been here for quite a while I really struggle with what others seem to find so easy, that is, distinguishing the fine details that make it possible to detect a piece of crap from a good rep. So if anyone would like to start a list of all the things that scream bad rep on this particular watch I would be very grateful for the education. I know the bracelet is a rep so can we just stick to the head. I'll start.....

1. The Crown Lugs are too fat.
