The other big "tell" is the bezel. Its very hard for the rep makers to get the angles right and the flat planes correct. It's a night and day difference and I can 100% tell at distance from a glance if its a rep.
On your dial, you will most likely have to cut the feet off to make it fit. This destroys the resale value of the dial, but might not be important. The other issue is having the day wheel align, it might not depending on the rep.
Imma pick on this dude's watch because he is banned and why its so obvious:
First, look at the facets on that bezel. On the gen each of those are perfectly flat and reflect a single color. These are concave and you can see its just not sharp. The angles are also wrong where the crystal hits the bezel. It's just super obvious in real life and usually dont need to look at the watch any further
The font on the day wheel is serifed. They arent on gen. Its using the old font from 80s DDs.
The crown is 100 flat stamped junk
Those SEL gaps, looool.
So, yeah, if you like the watch, have fun, just know that its not going to even fool the girl at the bar.
