I’m sorry your friend got stung - that really sucks, but the info you have provided is excellent & gives some super detail.
The box is a definite giveaway - I’ve called people out on YouTube when they are reviewing their ‘genuine’ watch because you can clearly see the box is a terrible fake.
Here’s a link to a thread I posted a few weeks ago regarding how to spot a fake warranty card.
Hope this helps check your friends.
You will need a UV light source to check for the hologram.
Thanks
