"Black" hands can often be caused by the lighting on silver hands.

However, the sub-dials on this watch are all wrong so definite cheap fake.

Good point... But, I'd think a little bad light would show some parts being silver... I really think thats a big tip off that... But, the chrono sec. hand seems wrong. I think mine is a bit thinner.

I'm not the best at finding on reps. This is interesting though...

The hands are the least of the problems on this. Compare the bezel, sliderule and particularly subdials with pictures of a real one.

Yes, but an 'aftermarket' bracelet does not automatically mean a fake watch.

All of mentioned above + sunken wheel and wrong date font.
