1680 red dial info

[MrChamfers]

I'm having trouble finding the flaws in this aftermarket dial, even after reading the red dial link on the forum and comparing.

I may put one on my watch while a search for an authentic one, but if I can't tell the dif, I'm sure not ready to buy.
What's easily wrong here?

hm maybe the S in superlative should have less curve...

Pretty much everything. Study up on 1680 red Submariner dial variations, and you should be able to spot the other anomalies.

Also, I'd personally wait for an acceptable genuine piece to come along, rather than fit a counterfeit dial...even if temporarily. YMMV.

Opinions on this white dial?
it sort of looks like a mk1, but the numbers on the back are difficult to see.
