Soul-
I had a fake submariner pass through my hands last year. I was surprised by how close it was. It had some astonishingly nice touches, including the etched crown, the correct grade of steel, and the bracelet. We did a side-by-side with a real one under a loupe and there was only one tell. (I'll reveal under the pic.)
You can tell this one is a fake from the bezel. The real bezel numbers are filled with a silver metal for legibility. This one just has raw steel. They fixed it on the next revision. Fakes are incredible now.

I looked on one of the replica forums and found a really great looking Patek Philippe Nautilus replica. Seriously thinking about buying it as it looks lovely and it's not I ever imagine I would own the real thing.
Is there a thread netiquette against linking these things?
