I hardly ever have my watches noticed.

I took my SD to a local watchmaker to have the bezel insert swapped and the watchmaker immediately told me that the insert was fake. Said that there were no marks in the back and that was a sure sign it was a fake. So I walked out.

Since I bought it off Steve M, there is no doubt of its provenance. I took it to an AD to make the swap. To test the watchmaker, I asked them if they thought the insert was a fake, and they replied "No! what made you think it is?".
