I think it's okay, but would need to see a close-up of the dial in better light. In the pics you've provided the dial itself looks flat, but that could just be the lighting.

YM is a great watch btw.

Easy to spot fake movement. Not free sprung balance. Guaranteed 100% fake movement. No doubt.

Guaranteed fake. Look at the levers for adjusting/regulating the balance wheel. On a genuine 3135, they don't have that lever system. It is adjusted via microstella wrench.

Replica. The engraving is horrid, movement is counterfeit, case is incorrect, case back is incorrect. Does not even have a gasket...
