Thanks for your response! What a crazy amount of money for a worthless fake. Appalling from eBay working hand in hand with the criminals.
It is very clever. Cheap enough to make people think they made a good deal on a luxury product, but still expensive enough for people to think it must be legit.

The description should say:

"Bit of wear and discoloring on the back but such an amazing piece (of sh*t) to the eye!".

Hi all,

Need an experts opinion, was there ever a aquracer cyclop that felt like a hole on the top surface?
As if it had a hole drilled in it, see pictures.
Ref number WBP201A.BA0632

Thanks for the replies. Yes it's a weird one, it's almost like a sticker from the Japanese (I think it's japanese anyway) shop on the actual card, I don't really want to take the sticker off the card and see if there's one underneath but I may well do.
That’s funny that you mention the sticker in Japanese on the card. I bought a 2000 exclusive a few months ago from Japan that turned out to be legit had the movement checked etc. But the warranty card they gave me with the watch was the exact same as yours with the sticker over it in Japanese. It looked dodgy when I saw it so I got curious and used an AR Translator app on my phone and scanned the card and it translated to perfect English. I found out it was sold at some posh watch boutique in Japan in February 2001. After I got the information I wanted to see what was under the sticker, and when I peeled it off it was literally the exact same details that was on the sticker just really faded.

That does not look right. Are they faking the new ones too now ?

Thanks for checking it out.
I am already 80% sure it isn't real I'm wanting to know if they ever made a crystal/cyclop in this design.

I'm 80% sure because of the cyclops thing.
Here are a few pics of it

This is amazing, as soon as the Chinese figures out how to solve the cyclops they will trick many.

Is the caseback perfectly aligned the way it should be?

Yes it is.
Top of the divers hat right in between the 12 o'clock lugs.

I have the blue on too and that doesn't have the cyclops thing, just a perfect flat crystal with cyclop under it. I think I'll have them looked at by an AD!

Opinions on this one?
Where did you buy them, and for what price?

Online ? Private? AD?

My main concern is the engraved text on the caseback, it doesnt look as sharp as on mine. OTOH that could just be due to the plastic over it. I dont have mine available right now but I will make sure to compare closer with mine once I have it in hand.

I also think the shade of blue looks way off but that could also be the camera making it look wrong

It was a jewelry store liquidation, so I'm 50/50 on their authenticity as a few details aren't adding up, and I'm not well versed enough!
