Replica Submariner

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-WATCH_W0QQ...#ht_500wt_1182

Among other problems, it seems that this is a very common serial number on replicas...

Case engraving is not right and that specific serial number is used very frequently with replica watches.

Replica's reuse the same serial number. The one on the watch is well known. Also the engraving is rough.

The crown guards are too thick. The crown guards should be thinner.

Agreed. These are shaped more like a GMT instead of a Sub. This is a classic tell of a fake Submariner.

It also looks like the crown is too big as well. Maybe it is my old man's eyes playing tricks on me.

These numbers do not seem to be engraved . Looks like it was done with acid
