The box should have a varnish type finish and not look like scrap wood. Why do fakes always put the crown in the lower right instead of the lower left? Do they think they can avoid copyright infringement?

Replacing a fake case back on a fake watch .... innocent ?
Not sure if you could technically fit a real SD case back to a real Sub case . Doubt it would even fit .
