How do I verify it's genuine other than take to jeweler?

To other's points, a good fake can be tough to tell. Many fakes are not that good.

The easiest way to tell a cheap fake is just make sure the second hand sweeps as opposed to ticks. If it ticks, you likely have a quartz movement inside a watch that should be automatic. heft of the watch itself is often an indicator if you have a good reference point.

Like the others have said...for that price it is unlikely to be genuine.
You just can’t buy a $10k ish watch for $400. No chance

Some of the watches I´ve had. The Sinn EZM3 was very accurate, somewhat miss that watch. The IWC was a wonderful watch as well, but I couldn´t come to terms with the bracelet. Otherwise an excellent timepiece and I would argue - at least for the 3536 that I had - a modern classic. All sold.



Found a second-hand Rolex 14060M back in 2010 for a great price - before they went through the roof like everything Porsche these days - and haven´t looked back.

Handsome sub - no date is the way to go.

I had a similar aquatimer, though mine had a white face. I don’t think yours has the sapphire ring with lumed numerals so is the model before or much before...

I had an issue with the bracelet too. It had the quick release feature and apparently wasn’t completed seated. The watch went flying off my wrist, and as you know it’s a hefty piece. That weight bent one lug when it landed and I couldn’t fit the bracelet back.

Tried to get iwc to help fix it but they wanted to replace the entire case for over a grand when I figured a little bend would fix it. So I bent it back myself... it was obvious when seen from the underside of the watch but otherwise not too visible.

Tank of a watch that I eventually sold due to being uncomfortable.

Speaking of watches, I saw this come up in another circle of mine and figured Y’all would enjoy as well. Scroll to the bottom of the page and watch the video: http://www.rgmwatches.com/guilloche

Hi Ron,
Hope all is well. Sure another one is calling, but you should keep your Stowa. Tried to put in a good plug for you on WUS.

Here's mine.
