Almost indistinguishable replica

I warn you all, this is the best fake I've come across in years. Can you spot the flaws, although they are hard to find? This one too, only needs a new battery....

I'll take a shot:
1. when did Rolex come out with a black case?
2. The coronet looks off to the left a little?

Hey, I'm still waiting for my copy of Rolex Report and other goodies from Amazon!
Apart from the 2, I thought it should print "OYSTERQUARTZ" underneath the coronet and Rolex logo, but I'm not familiar enough with this line.
So, what's wrong with this sample here?

A perpetual is one style, you know like the oyster watches we all love on this forum, no battery right? Then you have quartz that takes a battery, this watch says both.

I think it's real. If I'm not mistaken, this is the one with the external batery pack that can be worn around the waist. It was only issued to the Ooompa-Loompas who worked at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This is a a very rare watch and would be perfect for receipt as a gift from a dead grandparent and placing on e-bay for around $30 with some appropriate disclaimer. BUT BEWARE!!! The same model with the ceramic bezel may be a fake!

Yes, this will be the great surprise for Basel! This pre-production model shows the way Rolex are looking at the future. I present to you: the 2008 Meteorite Case Rolex Hybrid. (Tadah...., drum roll).

A quote from the press kit: "The new 6666 movement drives a small generator that in turn charges the newly developed power cell that powers the electronics. This movement will of course be a certified chronometer. It takes us a full 2 years to make the new Rolex Hybrid".

Pricing as of yet unknown.....
