If it's not bling, there is a very low chance of it being a fake. Bling is what makes replicas. So, I would say this watch looks quite legit.

I'm going to say its real. It should have a hack setting grade 647, F serial number is in the accepted range. Some people argue that the back should only say "USN BuShips" but I think the style of case back marking is OK as far as I am concerned. If you're areal purist the crystal should be glass and soldered in place.
