hrmm..the second one looks pretty good. what makes you think its fake?
i wish there was a better side pic but from the angle shown, the crown looks to be the right height..

the first one is a terrible terrible rep.

maybe the 2nd one is gen, but the datewheel is messed up, and the endlinks are messed up. looks like there's some over flow of lume on the hands. but you're right, the crown does look correct. I don't know. was just throwing it out there. It's definitely well worn. If I was selling a 5000 dollar watch I would be cleaning that thing up and making it look nice and presentable. The pics are horrible, and the watch is dirty, so I don't know. I guess it could be gen, but the first one, definitely a rep.

It looks like someone tried to age it.
That watch is not that old. The dial shouldn't be all blotchy unless it had some water damage.
Aside from that though, the watch looks gen to me.

ok, thanks bc. I think the major thing for me was seeing the endlink out of place, and just a dirty watch. and terrible pics, and the datewheel is off. So something is either wrong with it, or I just though it was a rep. but maybe it's gen. It irks me when people are trying to sell such an expensive item and they don't even clean it up. full of smudges and dirty. and bad pics. Usually the fakes on ebay are like that. just bad pics, but it could be a gen, but the guy has no clue how to sell something. lol

I can't even see the date wheel in the second one. Maybe were talking about different watches? Lol
The end link is just not on in the first pic. Someone forgot to pop the spring bar in right before snapping pics
