How to spot Time Bomb Fakes?

[SpliceD]

Been interested in buying a TB1 just for the sake of these being relatively cheap for an automatic Oakley watch. I've never owned one, so i have no idea how to spot a fake.

Saw this one for pretty cheap, but before i bid, wanted to get advice from the experts.

Looks legit. If I remember correctly the first gen came with the metal vault. You can tell due to the clasp, it’s flush and clean have an “O” on it.

I’ve never seen a fake TB1. Not saying there aren’t fakes, I’m just not aware fake TB1’s were ever a thing.

This one is legit. The F at the end matches the type of band the watch has. The links are forged (F) and are rectangular and the clasp is unique to that forged band.

They are not automatic. The TB1 is a kinetic. TB2’s are automatic.

Right, the TB1 uses a battery but Is charged by the movement of the wrist

Thanks, guys! And good to know on the distinction between the auto and the kinetic.
