Reported :
"Has the telltales of the Chinese fake copy of this model:

- The lume markers on the dial ring should be neat and square, not blobs
- The bezel numerals are incorrect as they have rounded inner corners on the digits
- Same known serial number range used by fakes, 1342xxx"

If I think the seller is reputable, I initially contact them in the expectation they will withdraw it.
