One of the first things I look at is the luminescent dot at the triangle at 12:00. Often the dot of fakes are too large. Not to mention that Until just recently, and not yet on the shelves, the only current model black face Seamaster Pro is the GMT and the America's Cup, which was just released a couple of months ago. Also, no standard SMP has a glass back. There is also no luminescent marker at 3:00. The Mid Size Auto has no marker luminescent marker at 3:00, but also has no indicies at 3:00. It also has a stamped steel clasp, with a flip lock. I wonder if it has a wet suit extention. There is no "Swiss Made" on the dial at 6:00. The Helium Escape Valve is not supposed to have a ridge on top. The luminescent markers on the dial should not be trimmed in metal, but white paint. Same with the Date Window.
I'm sure we could find other things to prove it's bogusness if we held it.
