233 genuine or not?

[nikos]

Hi to all old friends in the dark side I would like some opinions on this watch -sems genuine to me, what do you think? I am also concerned about the strap it comes with -shouldn't it be a black leather strap apart from the black rubber one? Your opinions would be of great help.

Fake....where is the GMT third hand....

Looks legit to me. That strap is obviously not the one that comes on the watch, you're right about that.

Not a problem, in lots of photos it is "hidden" under the minutes hand.

Yes its hidden under the hour hand, i miss that.. really hard to see.

LMFAO its not fake. It seems legit to me as well and the GMT hand is right under the hour hand.

Yep..it appears to be the real deal. Heck, for 11K it had better be real.

It's the real deal. GMT hand is either under the minute or the hour hand. If that's a rep, I'd pay $500 for it just for the movement!

It supposed to come with a black calf "tunnel" strap with brushed buckle and that's also a very highly sought after strap. Very nice watch indeed...

The strap should be black one, but the seller may have changed it. It's a J-series....consistent with the allegation that it was bought in 2007.But in the box, it should come with rubber strap, instead of screw driver, as 233 does not require the use of screw driver.

Thanks all.
