Now that you say it, I can see it when I compare it to the Hulk on my wrist today. Otherwise, I would have never picked up on it right away.

Edit:

Here is what it should look like.

Not necessarily. The magnification is a separate piece. It could have fallen off and been replaced by a nonstandard one.


yes, more than likely its an aftermarket crystal or cyclops
I good seller should note that somewhere.

All timepieces come with a 7 day 'no questions asked' return period- will issue 100% refund as long as the timepiece is returned in the same condition in which it was shipped out.
Are you outside of this?

If anything it looks like that crystal is making it smaller.

I have a Day Date, so I understand that. But that would typically be the biggest tip off that you have a fake.

Yeah, I second what Soup is saying. Generally, one of the key signs of a fake is the magnification being off.

Pretty basic common sense.

All three of my Rolexes were purchased new from ADs.

Common sense that a different cyclops means its fake?

Yes, it is common sense that it the cyclops is fake, the watch may also be fake. Most fakes don't have a legit looking one.

It's actually pretty common. Given the watch he bought has been polished, it's probably been in for service and had the crystal replaced at some point.

Happy to hear it. That seller has a good rep on the forum and he'd be run off if he was selling fakes. Glad he's taking care of you. Be sure to leave some positive feedback after it's fixed and let others know he's and honest seller.

I do too. It has that purplish maroon color that Nike used to have back in the day (burgundy I guess), but it's the best I've found in a Nato. Seen some Zulus with a darker maroon, but I'm not fan of them due to their thickness.

Weird nitpick. I like the strap, but to me it seems a little of out place on a dive. When i think dive I think about them getting wet. Do you really want to get a nylon(?) strap wet? Sure it'll last longer than leather, but it's not metal or even (gross) rubber.

Is it like a hobby of yours to let everyone that posts a pic of their watch or opinion on this thread know why you think they're wrong?

Nato/Zulu straps are quite common on dive watches, especially with actual divers due to the length allowing for it to go over wet suits, and also requiring 2 points of failure of the spring bars vs 1 with a strap/bracelet before your watch ends up at the bottom of the lake/ocean.

Also, I've gotten my others wet and have had no issues. Been in lakes, pools, showers, etc.

I wear a black nylon NATO for pool/river use. I swap it for brown leather otherwise. It sure beats rubber.

Got it at Cheap Nato Straps. Cost me less than where I normally buy them (Nato Strap Co), but they're located in Europe, so it takes about a week to get to the door, where the domestic guy is just a couple of days.
