[time-nuts] Watch Real or Fake?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi:

I got this watch on eBay from Russia.  After making the photo for it's web page 
I could see that the balance wheel appears to be all brass and is not cut like 
would be done with a bi-metal balance wheel.

So now am thinking it's a fake.  If you know watches have a look:

It's harder to see a very similar watch on eBay now at:

With the watch running you can't tell if there's the cuts in the balance wheel.
