Looks fake what do you think. Writing terrible!

Very odd outer scale on the dial, but looks inherently OK to me. Crown's a replacement, and concerned that there is no movement shot despite taking the watch out of the case, but don't see any glaring issues.

Sure, but it's watchmaker servicing marks - that's what they look like.

would ask for a movement shot, just to be sure. as Roff said, basically ok, the outer scale on these is a seperate ring, am quite sure this one is - quite badly - refinished (if anybody has a nice one lying around, I'm in the market...), dial is not too nice.
