That the hour hand rotates in 24 hours, not 12. All the fakes are standard Asian 7750 movements.Also, the date wheel on the replica is sunken as with all 3-6-9 Navitimers.

Hello, and let me thank any experts out there for their guidance on this Cosmonaute. I've pictured three views below. What should I look for to determine authenticity? Attachment: DSCF4176sm.jpg

Thank you both! I can confirm that the hour hand makes only one revolution in 24 hours, but I'm not sure what you mean by the date wheel being sunken. I would have said that the one pictured is sunken as it is seen through a window behind the face. |

Don´t worry, Sharkmouth was referring to a typical replica "tell" with the sunken date wheel (well below the dial, leaving a visible gap), yours is absolutely ok; nice, authentic piece ! |
