I paid not too much money (€350). The advertiser promised to send it including the original box, which he didn’t (he promised to send it afterwards). What about the serial number? The watch has a code with 2 letters and 4 digits. The serie number is CL111A-0. Is this (‘-0’) correct?

You can get these on eBay from £350ish if you are lucky (usually on rubber straps, the bracelets tend to go for more).

Okay, here's the thing. That is a photo of a genuine CL111A, there's no way you are getting something that looks even close for £139.

So there's maybe something that will put your mind at rest, is there a tiny lume pip at the 12 and 6. So small you probably didn't even notice it was there? Because no one would bother faking that.


Also the clasp and strap look genuine to me.

There are indeed two tiny lume pips at 12 and 6 ‘o clock. That gives me somewhat more assurance that the watch is genuine. Thanks for all your info and replies!

I'm no expert but that font on the face doesn't make me feel great... Let's see what the experts say.

Font looks okay, but these watches have been heavily 'cloned' in recent times - doubt it's really possible to verify from a photo..

lol can you imagine? Amazon becoming an authorized dealer? I've been out of the game for awhile, so I don't know if manufactures still sell off stock to grey market dealers, but maybe they could do something like that?
The backlight always stops working on these. I've never seen a fake version of this watch, or any other model/brand with this type of movement. It's just not worth it. There is no cheap movement they can throw into these watches that would be worth selling fakes.

Can't put my finger on it exactly but this looks fake - overall quality isn't there. I think you can just tell by the bezel finishing, dial and marker quality. Looks a bit dull and cheap.
