Great watch, but why the differences? Were there differences in this watch? Which of these is real? Are they both real.. I am pretty sure the one from Japan is definitely real..

Thanks!

I think they're both real. The first one is a later Chronomat (which was known as the Chronomat Evo for a while), while the second one is the older Chronomat without the screw-in pushpieces.

There is a fake Frecce Tricolori, but these are both real as has been said.

There's three. All easy spots.

The older Chronomat has a single Alpha jet on the case back rather than a MB-339.

The Evo version has white sub-dials and wrong date font with a 9-ship formation on the case back and all have 001/1000.

Finally, a quartz Evo. Black sub-dials with standard quartz counters and a horrible case back.
