An unwanted gift according to the description 馃榾

I'd be suspicious of anything that has those little blue plastic stickers on the ends of the chrono pushers.
I noticed that with one of the watches I got. I take it it鈥檚 not normal? Is that model even a real thing? A grand Carrera style bracelet?

This is what I believe an original should look like. Note grey dial, not black; black date window not, white. And look at the dial text. The one on eBay can't be seen properly as it's overlaid on top of the checkerboard effect. There are a number of other things I don't like also. What about the crown? And the blue plastic stickers on chrono pushers are usually a sign that something has eminated from a Chinese factory.

I think it's supposed to be CAZ1114, but....

Incidentally James, you might find my other blog useful

You can sort by range and part numbers using the drop down menu. It's my first place to check things out...
Nice page Aquagraph. Does it have a filter anywhere? Would be nice to filter by model type (e.g. Aquaracer, F1, Carrera, etc.) or even by era (1980s, 1990s, etc.).

Also the barrel box looks fake as well.
Could be fake, but it definitely doesn't go with that watch.

If you go up to the top right hand corner there's a little bit of black there... if you hover on it it pops out and if you click on the top one 'labels' it gives you a list of all the model numbers on there and also inbetween (it's alphabetical) you will find Aquaracers, Formula 1 etc... there's about 2000 watches on there IIRC. There's also a search at the top, but it's rubbish! Also I recommend opening in a new window as it won't save your search results, which again is RUBBISH! I wish I had put more labels on like colours etc so you could find all the blue dials, but I didn't and since most people can't even find the search I'm not inclined to put in the work..

Oh yeah, you can also change the view by clicking on the options under the title (in the black bar)

So, they are getting a lot more creative. Store is real. Information is not. It's one of the fakes I've been after, but from Latvia. Lativa seems to have a lot of fakes.

Tough call, considering there's no lume pip on this model...
I haven't gotten one of these types of models in, to mess around with and figure out all the tells.
