Real Minute Machine?

[Serturbo]

@zwc442 has replied to so many fake MM posts so thought I’d respond …
Here’s a pic of the side profile of cas .. flat spots are dead give away and also the shape/contour inbetween the crown and the push buttons ..

also profile shape of links.. fake ones have 90 angle instead slight sloping edge …

the casebacks on fake MM’s don’t have the intricate details and etching that a real one does.. trying to find the link on forum that shows it

not to mention the details in the dial are all off ..

Report Fake minute machine/ time tank listings and how to spot them

Figured since there are so many fakes out there we could consolidate them to one thread https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F274257977133

In this Pic can see the machining on the clasp design is poorly cut and not symmetrical. The area the clasp button sticks out is very abrubt.

In this Pic can see the sharp poorly machined flat spots in the side of the case. The links spacing is very uneven. A real in the spacing is tight and consistent. The 2 clasp sections are really flat they should have a little more shape to them. The clasp release buttons the Allen head should be more defined it almost looks like it's just a round hole. The screws also are off. The face of the screws are very flat they should be slightly rounded.

Also in the above Pic the top of the case has a flat spot seems to be on all 4 corners.

On this the 3 bumps that stick out of the case are abrupt. They should flow into the case more smoothly. Also the washers are shiny they are made of a different plastic. Oem washers have a satin finish to them. Also the overall color of the titanium is off. Fakes are usually more gray looking metal.
