It would be interesting to see the balance wheel - if it’s free sprung or not, as well as the other parts of the movement.
Those who mentioned the diamond: it’s not worth looking into it purely from pictures, since the good fakes have that too.

Calatrava cross appears ok to me. Rotor has all the striations I would expect.
Frankenwatches are more of a concern for vintage mass produced Rolex. Low production modern Patek less likely I think. Spots on the movement are interesting.
