Post subject:  Are these 3 Navitimers all fakes?

I'm just starting to try to learn how to spot a fake Navitimer, so would appreciate feedback on whether any of these three watches are real. I've guessed that they're all fakes but I'm not particularly confident that I know what the hell I'm talking about. Slide rule hash marks on all three watches and subdial placement on the first two look incorrect to me. I have no idea if there really was a French edition of the Navitimer.

Thanks Fred. Clearly I need to study harder.

What made you think they were fake in the first place ? , sharing your thoughts and reasoning is a much better way to learn ?

I was under the impression that the tick marks on the slide rule should extend all the way to the inner edge of the slide rule bezel, but it seems that's not a universal rule.

There is a lot of variation and largely depend on the model and age of the watch
Tick marks is not a universal rule although it might be a first indication for very modern pieces
