FAQ

Can I check a watch without opening the case?

Yes. Many tells are visible from the outside: dial fonts, the cyclops over the date, engravings, and bezel action. The AI works from exterior photos; the movement is an extra signal if it’s visible.

What matters most in the photos?

A close-up of the dial (fonts and printing), the crown with the logo, the caseback, and the serial/reference number between the lugs. Sharp focus is critical.
