    It is a fake.

    A glance at the movement would confirm this.

    I think it is beautiful and looks like it was made for the Turkish market. I don't know about watches, but I think that those who do will need to see the movement to judge its authenticity.

    Given that there's signs up all over Turkish resorts saying "GENUINE FAKE WATCHES" ..... ;)

    Pretty thing though.

    Fakes will never become antiques, just old fakes

    Fakes can become collectible if the quality is there.

    To some extent the Swiss watch industry started off doing knock-offs of French pieces. They did the same with gold boxes using fake French marks. To current thinking, the marks wouldn't fool anyone who actually knew what they were talking about and, since the quality was there, they are now called "prestige marks" and have no effect on values.
