Bingo!

Magnification is the dead giveaway, but the overall look of the watch is pretty sad.

The more authentic Rolex watches you see the easier it is the catch the bad ones.

My watchmaker says he's seen some he's had to open first.

Check the pearl on the bezel insert. It's the size of "Chicago." You will see that "huge" pearl on many counterfeit Submariners.

That's the first thing I noticed when I took a look at it. May I add it's also misplaced? It's not even in the middle of the triangle!
