The scroll work around the coronet on the clasp does not look right or am I seeing things?

This is a great catch notice the picture of the end link / caseback. See the "pitting" on the writing of the caseback...

So the case back writing is what gives it away as a fake?

Not quite Marie, these Tudors mostly had the writing on the case back. But in this case the writing is like it is done with a hand engraver, you can see the little "pit" marks which should not be there, the letters should be smoothly formed......

Here is a pic of another 9101, it looks like the caseback stampings are the same -

I agree this looks like someone used a dremel on it...

I've been reading many of the threads describing how an "E" or a "1" should look, and such... these numbers/letters are stamped as opposed to being engraved, correct?

We may need one of our Tudor experts to have a look at this, that site I just linked has nearly the same description, and check out the inner casebacks:
