The Dive Watch Connection

There seems to be so many things that don't jibe on this watch, but I'm far from expert on these matters. What say the cogniscenti?

Run away and don't look back.

Bezel, Case, Dial, Hands, caseback, bracelet...all no Bueno.

Something looks off Seth. The bezel looks wrong and so does the finish on the caseback. Not to mention the movement looks wrong. Weird it looks like a franken.

Not an expert, but I'm sure the case, bracelet, clasp, and bezel are all fugazi. And I have a hard time believing that movement is genuine.

I'm really, really suspicious about the caseback, hands, and dial, too.

On edit: in fact, I'm sure the caseback is crap. Look at how bad the engraving is. And I don't like the crown, either.

My guess is total fake as opposed to franken. Either way, wouldn't touch this one.

I’m not a vintage guy, but that does less than nothing for me.


Edit: I guess I am a vintage guy, but I’m not into vintage watches.

those caseback engravings are a joke, among other glaring issues... I'm surprised at you, Seth

Now that you mention, it does look like something a 4 year old would draw with a crayon.

Pretty much covered with the other comments here. You can compare to my old one:

Gear wheel teeth on the movement alone look meth'd up.

And yet...bidding on it is up to $1,250. I guess Barnum was right

Just to add to this (sorry for slow response) 200m=660ft is done improperly (spacing is off). Printing on dial is off, movement is wrong.
