I think fake, sorry
Hi, what makes you think it is a fake, never had a tag before and don't know what to look out for, I see the sapphire crystal movement and assumed that it would be unlikely that you would find that in a fake.

The movement rotor and general quality of the finishing.

Oh well, good job I only had a fiver in it. Thankyou for your input.

The fact that you only paid a fiver for it, and can't find a model number, or anything like it online are also bad signs.

I found it in a charity shop, not working, I have found watches the same on ebay etc but not with the glass back, as far as I could gather it is a professional 200m model wl 1114.0 except for the glass back. It's has a lot better finish than it appears in the photos, it could do with a good clean. Thought it might be worth getting it repaired as I like the look of it.

The logo looks wrong on the rotor, spacing of that G is wrong. OK for a fiver I guess. Looks kinda kirium-y with a splash of link.

Clearly 'supposed' to be a Kirium. It's fake though, aside from the rotor which looks plain bad, Kirium bracelets aren't floppy and they don't bend the 'wrong' way, at least mine doesn't.

The logo ON the dial looks "applied" instead of painted. Also the finishing looks very cheap.

Me too, perhaps two reports will instigate some action?
That would be three reports.

Hiya guys. the model number is WK1120. I can't seem to find the exact model i guess. Not too sure new to tag. But from my searches they all happen to have a black square around the date. Seller says it's WK1120.BA0314.

No obvious red flags. A couple of years ago, there was a thread about this model. That one also had the black square around the date that you mentioned.

This 3rd party seller appears to have the same as this one.

thanks for the reply. Yeah when it's not the black square it's the t<25 that sets it apart from others. Which from my understanding is something about the tritium inside. guess i'm caught in between years lol

Yes, I noticed that too. Ask the seller for more pictures. Make sure it is in good shape and look for previous sales to ensure you are getting a comparable price. Good luck.
