Found a watch I've wanted for a long time on eBay for a good price. I'm concerned that there's something amiss, however, because the markings on the movement are different from the stock photos. I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me out, hope I didn't get a replica, doesn't "feel" like one to me but I'm no expert.
Perhaps I am, I tend to be too paranoid I guess. Thanks for the compliment. Here's a another (hopefully better) look at the markings just for kicks, marking are by the balance wheel. The interlocking "GJ" is on the left side of the balance wheel on my watch, versus on the right side in the stock photo:
As far as I'm aware, it's not too uncommon for stock photos to look slightly different to the actual watch - in fact I believe relatively frequently a stock photo may be of an earlier prototype, or a slightly older model, that kind of thing. Your watch doesn't give me any kind of suspicious 'that's a fake' vibe. I'd be almost certain you're fine.
