I received this watch from my dear friend as a gift, I stashed this away for years, but he recently passed so I remembered this, I know nothing about watches so I thought to ask here.

Never thought i would see one of those again. A very rare find indeed! You had a great friend, sorry for your loss.

At least it got an original gas escape valve

its definitely a fake and a bad one at that... but at this point its value lies in its memory, not in its monetary value. Sorry to hear about your friend.

Why is it that none of the watches in similar posts on this sub, are ever genuine? xD

We only post when something is not quite right, to get the confirmation, especially when one is not too familiar with how a brand is supposed to look.

Mods can we finally have a section in this sub where all these “genuine” authenticity requests belong ? It’s getting sad now

As a general rule, if you need to ask them it probably isn't. However, may your friend's memory be a blessing.

Sorry about your friend. I would forget about whether it’s real or not, that doesn’t matter. It’s a memento of a dear friend and will always remind you of him. That sentiment is worth more than a Rolex.
