Welcome aboard.
There is a very good replica of this model, ask for a closeup photo of the dial (face).

I don't like it and I wouldn't buy it.
There's plenty of SOSF without being dubious.

It's not a good photo, but ending of an "S" in Superocean looks shorter, pearl looks too green, dial logo looks wrong to me.

As Bnewbie, there is a very VERY close fake of this watch, so always buy with papers is the advice on that model.... and also post us pictures here.

Yes.

Get clear photos (not a fuzzy iPhone one) showing the serial numbers on the warranty book, COSC certificate and the watch and I might believe it, right now I'm with bnewbie - steer clear because the fake is too good.

The elliptical hole in the 6 at 6 o’clock is the wrong shape. The tail on the S in superocean is to short, and it should have a slow cure running down wards in it.
