Warranty card is fake.

The movement is either genuine or a modified with genuine parts clone 4130. It’s not a stock fake movement. This one I would need open in front of me to confirm. If the movement is a modified fake then its been fitted with a genuine main plate and genuine free sprung balance assembly/balance wheel at a minimum. Possibly genuine bridges and rotor. Difficult to see in the pictures. The fake 4130s don’t have serial numbers on the main plate, neither do they have a free sprung balance assembly.

Either way the watch is fake.
Thanks. As you say.
The movement is genuine, Its not modified for all the reasons you state.
The rest is junk - yes including the warranty card
