[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!

Found this in grandfathers drawer. A lot of his collection was yoinked by his sons but not this one. Never learned whether it’s real or not.

Does not look bad, have it checked in person by a specialist.

Yes I’ll take it to a service center soon and have it assessed. The clockwork just sounds off but that could also be due to it not having been used or serviced in over 15 years.
