Real - the fake's have the 8 off slightly, the other fakes have the bezel looking horrid, also the font is not as bold on the fakes.

Looks okay to me appart from being purchased 6 months in the future. I suspect the warranty cert was blank ( a once common practice by ADs) and reseller has filled in the date himself, wrongly.

I can't tell from those pics and there are rather close fakes. On the one pic of the bracelet side, I am a bit leery of the shape of the screws. Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't risk it on those pics.

Shouldn't the rider tabs have screws in them? Or are they attached to the bezel on the Skyland?

No screws on Aeromarine line.

Definitely real. If it was a US sale then BUSA may be able to tell you approximately when it was first sold, but given that the warranty is clearly wrong I would assume that there is no warranty and look at a price that reflects that.
