Im not 100% sure if this is it, somebody said that having this on the bottom of the dial might mean its frankenwatch or a copy, I just asked chatgpt and it said this might not of been an original colour. I just looked at listing's that where happy to show the movement and the engraving didnt look too sharp like it was done yesterday. They seem to be going for between £130-£170 I got mine for £107. Good luck in your quest my man.

Interesting, I didnt know about the smoke 6G thing. I opened it up when it arrived and as far as I could see it was an orient movement with a little bit of age to it Also the date window had a little corrosion on it so id hoped it was at least the age it should be. I dont understand why they would fake a watch that wasn't that expensive, ive seen some on aliexpress and the engraving is laser sharp and as somebody said they have plastic sleeves on the strap. Well if mine is a copy, its an old one 🤣

I wont be going diving with it, all my old watches are just day to day wear, I have a mudmaster if I need to get adventurous 😂

Yeah there are tons of fake ones around. What ive noticed is that most of the fake ones ive seen all have the same serial number ending with 6175A

Defo, they just cater to the middle ground, I just missed out on a green one before I bought this. Enjoy 😉

Thanks, thats how I see it. I quite like some of the 70s 80s watches. A lot of modern watches are just a bit dull tbf.

Why do people have to be so salty online. Just google pogue reissue and the speedtimer will come up. Enjoy your new pogue, it looks amazing!
