A friend brought me this back from Hong Kong once.
The case was replicated very well except that all the edges were sharp and the detail was rough. It even had a working dive extension for the clasp.
The bezel never quite lined up as it should and the helium escape valve was just another winder crown on a a short post. As you can see the lume on the hands and the bezel did not match that on the dial. The biggest giveaway, however is that the automatic movement it used was too small for the case, so that date window is way too far in from the edge the face. And look at that stupid font on the date wheel!
After about a week, when setting the time, the crown flew off the winding post, and the thing never did work after that.
