17160771-b4-96B169-C8601163 I saw that on back of my bulova is that a real bulova or fake?

it will not be a gold watch as it states gold plated
that is to say that it has a coating of gold electroplated to the base metal and will be about 2 microns thick
check with a jeweller for the fake or not.

retail price is $250, its not a popular watch to fake

mcdevito75 here, The best way is to reove the back cover and look at the mechanism, However there are a couple of things you can look at to determine if it"s a replica. First, look at the Bulova name on the watch, is it spelled right and are all the Letters in the name the same, if so yor Bulova is most likely real, and, I haven:t heard of a Bulova replica, that"s not to say there aren:t any but it would have to be a high end Bulova, the Excellency as an example.

Are you shure you CAN set the date? Most of these watches are fake. I got one at a NCL cruise. For its price, it's fake. So it is not fully functionally. It only shows the time. The date mark is not real on my watch

This sort of information is only likely to be available from an authorised dealer.

If you go to the Boluva web site, you will be able to use their dealer locator to find the one nearest you.

Real cartier santos watches are engraved on the back of the watch not etched on the back like a fake. Also the word cartier is engraved on the clasp of the bracelet. Do not but unless these two conditions are satisfied.
