Legit Check on two Carbon-Faced Timebomb 1's.

[TrashIsland]

Hi, I just recently won a goodwill auction on two Timebomb 1 watches, both with black carbon faces. One has black hands, while the other has red. The red hands is a point of concern for me, as I have yet to see a single image (real or fake) of a timebomb with red hands. On the other hand, one of the watches was deconstructed for an authenticity check and was authenticated, and from what my research seemed to align with other Carbon-faced Timebombs*. What I'm really getting at is that I think if one of them is real, both are, seeing as the font, hands, and logo all seem to be congruent. I don't know though! That is why I came here, I want to know if for certain, the watch which was taken apart is real or fake, and I'd also like to know if there was potentially a rare run of timebombs with red hands, or they were floor models which people would test out, etc. Here are the pictures:

*I don't know which watch was deconstructed

I would say yes but with questions... It appears someone has monkeyed around with at least one of them that has the red hands. I cannot figure out why the seller needs to take the back of it off for pictures which they most likely didn't relube the seal when they put it back on. This situation with these watches would make me just nervous enough to pass unless they were super cheap. I have a feeling both were owned by the same person and both have been messed with internally.

in total, the watches are $500 (taxes and shipping included). Is that an attractive enough price for the risk? I’m leaning towards yes but I’m not super knowledgeable on this stuff.

Not a bad price so yea that’s a good deal.
