You can tell it's fake because it looks like garbage. JLC is one of the finest watchmakers in the world. If it has a model number on the back, google the model number. There should be something you can google to verify legitimacy. But seriously, use your gut. This looks worse than something a homeless dude outside the JLC factory would shit out.

I thought it looked bad, mainly why I asked becusse I diddnt expect this to be a real becuase it just didddnt look like a jlc

Also it was like 200 quid for a club and I couldn't find a real one online, thanks

£200 for a JLC is about 10x cheaper than I would ever expect even the cheapest one to list for. When high-end watches like a JLC are well used, they still look like high-end watches. I know it's hard to tell if one doesn't have much experience with real high-end watches, but after spending enough time seeing pictures of them online, or even seeing them IRL, one can spot a fake instantly.
