As above really. Doesn't look right to me, hands too small, but not 100%

Difficult to say but bezel does not appear to be crisp enough in detail, but that could be bad lighting or phone res.

Correct - unless the gold version is different.

My S/S is a fixed bezel.

edit : The dial on the left is a day dial???? Never seen that before...

Fake i'd say and not even a good one at that.

The bezel is all wrong, as posted above the 60 should line up with the 12 marker and the engraving in it not sharp enough

I have no idea, not an expert. However to my eye the numbers on the bezel look really poor quality, and misaligned. Look at 130 for example, the 1 looks lower?

Good spot on the day dial as well, i've never seen that before.

The subdials should be standard seconds, minutes up to 30 and hours up to 12 afaik

It is a fake look at the dial at 9 o'clock it shows day of the week.

Markers are too fat and the upper and lower pushbuttons are wrong - the knurled portion should be closer to the outside of the button, if that makes sense.

The bezel looks marginally thicker than a real one and, as said the engraving is toss. Fake as fk!

Indeed, it's the most horrible crappy fake going.

Not sure if serious....


But just for future reference, any watch that purportedly cost more than about £30 and has day/date in the subdials is a fake. (Or overpriced lump of dressy trash.)



Some daytona fakes are actually based on a 7750 copy movement with transfer gears to swap the subdials over.
