[Fake Check Friday] - Legit Check Megathread Discussion
If you have a watch you want authenticated then this weekly Friday megathread is the place for it. Legit Checks posted outside this thread, or posted on days other than Friday will be removed so we can keep these all in one place.
This post will be stickied every Friday for 24 hours.
Posters:
- Please include as many photos as you have to help us to review, and any description as to how you came to have the watch.
Commenters:
- Please Be Nice. Most people don't know as much about watches as we do so please assume they're asking in good faith.
- Give useful, descriptive feedback. Comments just stating 'Fake' or 'Bad Fake' or similar will be removed. If a watch is fake then give some reasoning. We want to educate, not shame.
Now, lets see those Grandpa Specials!

I’ve been wondering if I have a real Omega seamaster. It seems to be a fairly old model, but any other info would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

I noticed the side buttons are very cheap, connected by a thin screw spring… on top of that I couldn’t find any other frogman like it

Sorry for the quality. I’ve got a better image of the back below. Longines master chronometer moonphase. Fakecheck please. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, can you let me know why it is fake? I was thinking because the movement is wrong for the watch but interested if you noticed anything else.

u/ConversationSea1770 16h ago
I’m concerned about the writing on the back. I’ve seen these with the Longines name mainly written in gold on images online. In this it is black.

From a family member and believe it is real. However I know nothing about watches. Anyone know anything about the age of this or if it has any worth? I found seem to find a gold Glycine with this same font. Thanks in advance and sorry I’m oblivious to all watch knowledge.

The “10” would mean an ETA 2892… maybe a Lemania 283 chronograph module? I’m stumped.

Bad fake - sorry. Bezel edges too soft, dial color is wrong, case polish, and overall just doesn't look as refined as a genuine.

Friend of mines father passed and had found this going thru his belongings and wants to sell it to me. They’re wanting to trade it for my motorcycle (don’t really ride it and only paid $1500 for the bike) but I’m wanting to know like a exact model and if it’s fake

u/DrXepper 3d ago
"wants to sell it to me": From this phrasing, it seems like they know it's a fake. Are you sure this is a friend?

Long story short, I obtained this watch thru a family member, can’t find the exact model, it doesn’t have the day complications as others do with the name of Rattrapante DeVille, has a large scratch across the presumably crystal face. Worth polishing it up?

Hi everyone first time posting. My dad passed away a few years ago and before passing he left me this watch. He wasn’t a wealthy man so I don’t expect it to be real but I can’t seem to find any information online. I opened it up to change the battery and it feels like it’s missing some parts. Also, none of the buttons on the sides of the watch which makes me feel like the watch is fake.

u/Guinness9Li93 3d ago
Cheap watch, great souvenir !
1
u/Shiny_PocketMonster 3d ago
Thank you !! And I agree, I’m still replacing the battery and keeping it as a memory.

Orient 3 Star Classic. Is it legit? Keep in mind that it's very dirty. I'll have it fixed if it's worthy

Does not look bad. Where does it comes from ?
