There is like a 2mm gap between the flip lock and the clasp. A genuine should be flush. The flip also sticks up on one side when shut like it is not straight. The quality of the printing inside looks suspicious.

There’s nothing wrong with it. Early tool engraved rehaut not laser etched like the newer ones.

Nothing wrong with the clasp. Gap is fine, looks worse due to someone being a bit heavy on the polishing machine and rounding off the edges. I’ve got a 2011 one sitting here that’s the same. Printing is fine also, I’ve seen a few variations. Fat, normal, thin etc.

Crown on the clasp is polished and should be brushed. Fakes come this way because they use the same crown on all the fakes and don't bother to brush them to match the bracelet. Sorry but the clasp is 100 % fake

Looks pretty good to me. Send to RSC to get it checked and refinished. The only thing that sticks out to me is the combination of engraved rehaut with blue chromalight. My scattered serial watch (later 2010-2011) with rehaut engraving still had green superluminova.

The clasp gap looks a bit wide. I'll check mine tonight and confirm.

The dial is a bit off. The writing is very different to what's on a legit one, unless they change the fonts from 10 yrs ago vs now.

OK, guys
Thank you for all of your different opinion.
Actually I was also concerned about the gap on the clasp. No idea if it was sanded out during previous maintenance. Anyway I'm planning to visit RSC very soon, and will share update after getting there.
Some more pics of the clasp with a tape measure (in millimeter)
It's extreme close up, therefore it may look exaggerated than real..

What’s the clasp code can you take a picture that will clear this up.

Its a random date code.
I suspect Antrolexsub needs a photo

I dont recognize that code as a known fake.

Why not just take it to the RSC at Gangnam-gu and ask for a service quote?

This will confirm the inside and outside authenticity and condition?
