    Short story: its fake

    Long story: the Club was JLC’s economy model line, and to keep the price low, they used cheap A. Schild movements. These are fraken watches made using cheap A. Schild movements, though usually not A. Schild movements from real JLC watches, but its hard to prove that.

    The numbers on the bezel are wild. 10 in the middle. 20, 30, 40 at the top. 50 on the bottom. Same problem with all of the lines in the bezel. Some on top, some on the bottom. Also seems like they turned the bezel so that it wasn’t so obvious how bad it lines up with the dial but something is wrong there too. some match close to the bezel and some are way off.

    Wow that looks like garbage. Are you trolling?

    The bezel looks handpainted by Stevie Wonder.

    You can tell it’s fake because it looks like garbage. JLC is one of the finest watchmakers in the world. If it has a model number on the back, google the model number. There should be something you can google to verify legitimacy. But seriously, use your gut. This looks worse than something a homeless dude outside the JLC factory would shit out.

        £200 for a JLC is about 10x cheaper than I would ever expect even the cheapest one to list for. When high-end watches like a JLC are well used, they still look like high-end watches. I know it’s hard to tell if one doesn’t have much experience with real high-end watches, but after spending enough time seeing pictures of them online, or even seeing them IRL, one can spot a fake instantly.

    There are always a bunch of these on eBay being sold out of India at super cheap prices. So bad that it’s laughable.
