Really not convinced with the size of the rider tabs on the bezel. They appear to overhang the crystal too much, just too large!

Photos aren't the best for further identification

I'd normally save an image in photo bucket for reference, but hindered by limitations of my iPad!

It looks OK to me from what I can tell of those pics.

Probably OK but wouldn't like to call it on those photos.

Thought I should add its not for me, but rather save some poor bidder a lot of money.

Some of the good fakes have the larger rider tabs just like this. Don't want to report it, unless some of you guys agree.

Looking at the lume on the dial, it looks like raised dots.
Applied with a tool, not screen printed.

IIRC the Avenger is screen printed but not the SA.
