It looks very beat up from that photo.

Yeah and if the crystal is in similar shape it is probably a lost cause. You could polish the band, but you would be hard pressed to find a matching crystal.

Yep all of that is what I was thinking. I don't know squat about watches, so thanks for the confirmation. I really did want the Time Bomb when it came out right after high school so I may start to investigate that.

The other thing is if it looks that beat I bet you'd have to get the capacitor changed too.

View attachment 203127 View attachment 203128 Hi guys
Just encountered those two on a local site. Similar to craigslist I suppose. I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to those pieces. Probably no boxes available but if someone would be able to recognize if they're legit I can ask the seller to provide more pics. Hope to get some help please.View attachment 203127 View attachment 203128

Sure looks like this listing from the Bay which is fake. The lens is not prizm road and is an off color for any iridium. I'd be hesitant all around.

I'm from Poland and both pairs are listed on my local buy/sell service. Those items are always suspected but it's worth to look there from time to time. Some people here from O forum have scored romeo 1s for under $100 so there's always a chance that I'll encouter OTTs or some x metals for nickles on that local garbage. Thanks for an opinion sir.

I don't doubt there are some deals like on CL, I would just be hesitant to purchase from someone who has any fakes listed. Either they know they are fake and are crooked or they are not able tell the difference. It is always a pain wading through the garbage, but you may find that gem. Good luck in your search!

Edit- I thought I quoted you @rzurzel

can someone look these over and tell me if the are legit? My son wants to bid on them but I don't know how to pick out a fake from a real pair. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert but they look pretty good to me. Rootbeer is the least faked color I think. Also looks like the icons are scratched up a bit.
I'd be more worried about the sellers 0 feedback.
Ask for pics of the arms folded and there should be an "A" in a box.

Thanks I didn't notice the scratches. I thought it was a glare from the flash. He has this listed as black frame. He also has 79 positive feedback. Thanks for the info guys. I have asked him for some additional pictures.
