Any idea if this is real or a replica? This is the only photo I have at the moment.

    Hard to tell from just this one image. The biggest tell with these is usually the case back engraving. The fakes are usually laser etched rather than engraved. Also, if this is real, it would be a gold case so the weight should also give you some indication if it’s real, also it’ll be hallmarked… might just be the light but it looks kinda silvery along the bottom edge suggesting it’s IP coated steel and the coating has worn away (therefore fake).

    The crazy jump hour complication has been replicated and can be easily found in fakes so don’t rely on that as an indication of it being real.
