The most notable things I see is a weak engraving on the case back side and the Pro2 doesn't quite sit right. The three square rider tabs are thicker than the current model. The numbers are slightly different from the current model on the website and the engraved numbers on the bezel aren't sharp...that could be the pics tho or wear and tear. Don't assume that means a fake...I'll let a more knowledgable member say for sure given there are many inter-model variations, but I figured I would identify a few comparison points. It also appears to lack the external AR coating, which in itself isn't an issue. |

Welcome aboard. It's a fake, I'm afraid. Stenciled numbers, pearl, lume, caseback, bracelet. |

One of the later generation "good" fakes, but as bnewbie said, it's still a fake. |

Having the date set to 1 makes it very easy to see the date font is wrong as well - just looks lost in the window. |

You are welcome. Stenciled numbers are thinner a bit, pearl should be more sunken and has different rim, lume is not perfectly positioned and it shouldn't be so rounded (raised), caseback logo is different (note the "B"), bracelet stampings are not clear and safety clasp stamping is way too visible on the other side. |
