Can we do that sticky I suggested yet or shall we wait for another 10 of these?
I'm curious as to what the tells are that this watch is a fake. The crown definitely looks like a more recent replacement. Apart from that, I can't tell. Can someone school me please? Thanks in advance for your responses.
This is an older fake with one of the easiest tells. The more recent ones have already moved beyond this so I don’t see any great threat in discussing it. As noted above by calalum (but mangled by spellcheck) the tell is called stubbies. Take a close look at the lume block. Note how the white minute index is just visible outside the block. That’s a stubby and is only seen on fakes. There are several other tells here too. It’s not one that will fool many after a bit of study. Extra care should be taken with examples like this that purport to be military issue.

These look like dealer photos, who's the seller?
Fake milspec SM300 is punchy, are they pricing it as such? 10k plus? Or is it at a price too good to be true? What made you pick this one?
Rather than a stickie ((stickee, sticky) which they never read anyway)) could you compile a list of threads/posts where these questions have been posed and answered.
Then, for future use you (or any of us awake at the time) can simply attach the info to the new post and the OP can do some research and make their own decisions.
I would do it, but I'm on my second Friday evening Guinness and can't be arsed.
