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.

Nah, link it.
Be interested to see just how close they get to the real thing.
