I'm new here. Please educate me. What does "reported" mean? Fake?

for the untrained eye, what gives this away as a fake?

When I first joined the forum I really struggled to see the tell tail signs of a fake. But since reading the watch out section daily over a couple of months I can spot 1 or 2 flaws almost immediately, even on bad photos. I'm glad of that and thankful to the experts.

First major clue is the Cyclops, it should be approx. 2.5 times size. That date is barely 1.5x (look at how much empty space around the digits of the Cyclops and compare to a real one that's all over this site)

Most here won't give reasons why they're fake as helping the fakers perfect their art isn't the goal here.

My advice is to pull up a photo from a trusted source (rolex.com or a trusted seller) on split screen so you can view both at once and just look at them. You'll see differences straight away.

The people that build fake watches know as much or more about flaws than Rolex collectors.

Not necessarily true.
