Hi, I'm hoping someone could take a look at some pics and let me know if this watch appears genuine or a rep? The crown only pulls out one position to set (no date setting notch) the bezel turn feels like it is locks slightly at the 12 o'clock. However, the 3 o'clock indices is sightly misaligned to the minute track. I can not take the case back off with a friction ball, too tightly screwed on.

Looks legit to me, bezel pip is correct as is the closed cp on the second hand.

Super late in replying, but this one definitely looks good. Both case and the bracelet are gen (unless they threw a clone 2824 inside :p). Hope you are enjoying it!

Thanks, I ended up taking it to a local watchmaker who took the back off and confirmed it was real.

I'm loving the watch, only gripe is that its a tad bit too large...however, prefer this dial and the and the fact that my local watchmaker can service it over the smaller black bay 58.
