Hong Kong looking good!

[Nucchem]

I still
Think it’s fishy though. Why would they sell it so much cheaper. Market would be around 300 plus. I have a hard time trusting Asia. Outside of @Linegear Japan lol. As they sell a lot of cheap copies. I’m still skeptical. I hope it works out

Agreed, if its too good to be true...it probably is. I will inspect closer at home and report. Like I said it looks OK but I think its missing the jewels. And perhaps the "Swiss" stamp on the inside. I thought all the movements were cooler, like the Autogearbox (though that is auto). Telling you, the outside of this watch is dead on!
Not sure what the difference is in a Swiss movement and a "regular" movement as far as costs??? What would pulling the Swiss out and replacing with a regular gain you. What would you do with a Swiss movement and then have such a nice watch with crap inside, makes no sense.

Cool, I will look for the Ronda stamp also.

Either or. It will be a good thread moving forward for new and old members buying counterfeit Oakley products and what to look for. The suttle differences. Still unusual to use a sapphire crystal in a fake. Those aren’t cheap add ons. I’m quite curious

I’ll send some pics tonight. Typically the boarder of the MM is off

So I used a magnifying glass and my glasses and still had problems, certainly can't get a picture like above. How did you do that?
Anyway the stamps are the same, Swiss made, Ronda, Five 5 Jewels. The stamp doesn't seem as deep or defined and I just cant tell if there are actually jewels in the indents. Easy to tell in the Killswitch @Magmaredhot pictured.
I read about jewels and I guess they are all man made and really are not worth what they used to be worth, manufacture rubies and sapphires, just used as friction points to keep the wear down. Not sure why one would go to all this trouble and just leave out the jewels, makes no sense, especially since it does not really add "true" value to the watch other than the more used the better or less wear on the mechanism. I guess I will have to take it to a jewler to be 100%. I am amazed at the quality of this watch.
I guess I did not gather any more confidence in the watch mechanism than I had, other than it looks genuine except for the possible missing jewels, or my eyes are not good enough or they are diamonds instead of rubies or sapphires....LOL
Yeah Right!

I did notice what looks like raised letters on your battery compared to the other. Not sure if I'm looking at it right or they make 2 different batteries.
