| Post subject: | Real or fake? |
I recently purchased this off ebay. I believe it may be a replica. Two things lead me to this conclusion. There is an odd glare when viewing the crystal from an extreme angle and the adjustement holes on the of theclasp on the bracelet are slightly different than other ones I have looked at. Can anyone take a look at the link below and let me know what they think. It seems to pass the sharp corners comparison. http://www.ebay.com/itm/282001033607?ss ... K:MEWAX:IT Thanks |

Have you got the digital warranty card with it? Looks good to me, check out the comparison images here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=53024 Nice sharp numbers, lums look good. When you say odd glare, is it like a blue sheen? That's the anti-reflective coating if so. |

Thanks for the reply, I do not have the digital warranty card. It came with the operating manual and a warranty card and certificate of authenticity from authentic watches in CA. I called the ebay seller they informed me that they have their watch maker authenticate every watch they sell before listing it. I do see the bluish/yellow tint from the AR coating. but when I view the face at about a 170 degree angle or so it becomes not visible and has an almost mirror effect. I have several other quality Swiss made watches and do not get this effect on any of them,the crystal is clear and visible at almost any angle. Although none of them have the AR coating. Thanks for the help! |
