Re: what is it?
In Response To: Re: what is it? ()

: Can anyone explain the potmarks in the metal??

...maybe from a gunfight>German Tornado vs. MIG on a mystery mission somewhere over..., the rainbow...?

realy, at the first look, i think "ok, its a TKZ1550SG", but at the second and the third look, iam realy sure, its a fake. The crown and the pushers are wrong. Maybe the numbers in the little second & chronocircle are too big but iam not sure, but the hands in there are too big . The bezel looks like a "ritzel"("pinion" in english?, sorry i dont know the real word. Where the chain is going round on a bike...)and so on...
I think the side comparison on my postet photo tells the rest(i never see a "bubble"-plexi like this on a TKZ...)

But i also think, its not one´s from Ray aftermarket ... I think Ray´s got a screw back and not a back with 4 srews?!
However, it was 653$ worth for someone...

greetz,
Mike.

...and sorry for my bad english.
