hi,
I got the IWC Top Gun only several weeks ago.... :laugh: Was looking for one for quite some time..
Its turning out to be one of my top 6 favourites due to the nice feel of the ceramic case, the very respectable timekeeping and not to mention the clean flieger look..
so no, it wont be for sale for quite awhile yet.. ;D

Will this be for sale anytime soon?

You should be ashamed of yourself to post fake watch in this noble forum. I will come by your house to collect the said descipable fake watch to be deposed properly.

From what I can see.
The YM looks ok.
YM case have always been smooth, unlike the angled case of the other sports model.
The 1st bracelet link that protrude the lugs are consistent with the other YM (it looks quite weird tbh)
The Maxi dial looks ok.
Semi maxi hands check (maxi minute hands + normal hour hands)
No comment on the font and printing on the dial though.

Gosh; on closer inspection, the lugs on the YM is indeed different from my Sub and GMT, maybe it's really indeed fake. Or might be the other way round. I am so confused now. ???

The angled lugs of the YM is more like the solid gold Daytona models and are more rounded than other Rolex models.

YM lugs should definitely be more rounded than Sub, GMT, etc.  But the case side profile should be a bit rounded, sort of like a DJ, compared to Sub, GMt, SD, which is very flat, vertical, slabby.  Maybe yours is, but it doesn't look like it in the pic. 

Bracelet looks to thick too me.  Polishing of centrelinks also looks poor, very wavy reflections.

Index borders look too thick.

I'm definitely not a Rolex pro, I didn't even know the YM uses different hands to the other sports model (apart from the red seconds hand of course).  That's why I asked, didn't claim it as certainly fake.  You should be able to tell in real life - polished 904L looks different to polished 316L steel.

If in doubt, ask an AD.

Please post more and  better pics of the entire watch including the bracelet. Maybe some members can assist to see if watch is real or fake.

904 is visibly whiter due to the higher nickel content.

IMHO, don't worry bro.
From the picture, the bezel numerals/dial printings/hands/lugs/first links all appear to be correct solely from your picture (more pictures would definitely help to authenticate better).  And, just to confirm whether the YM is with V serial?  :Cheers:

In order to do that you have to have, at least, both watches with 904 and 316L SS bracelet compare side by side to eliminate differences in lighting when the photo is taken
