I've not seen any replicas of the 44mm, only the 42mm.

It's here and it is the most accurate rep I've ever seen.
I'm not much into newer models, but I think that both dot and square minute markers on the bezel can be gen.

That's scary...the logo looks spot on and the date almost correct...

Good giveaway.
It would be great to compare, if you can provide a photo.

IIRC there is crown variation within this model.

Here the crown looks like the OP's. The minute markers are circular.

Here it is a little different. It is more of a dash.
