SeaDweller DeepSea Dial question

Hello guys,

I am a Submariner and GMT (vintage one) fan, but not very expert on Sea Dweller specificity...
I am looking for a Sea Dweller enthusiast who can help me on one particular topic.

The question is about the dial on this watch (picture below)

https://ibb.co/jC8p8T

I have tried to find clues but not able to do so...
The general font look weird, isn't it?
Look at the SWISS MADE on only 3 ticks, seems strange.
More on that, look at the font of the meters, the "m" font does not correspond to any Dial I have ever seen.

Maybe is a replica, I do not know, but it seems to be real as :
- the serial number on the watch is the same on the papers
- the laser etched Rolex seems to be perfect
- the watch comes with box and papers

But as I am not able to open it and verify the caliber, I am asking you this :
Is the Dial looks real or Fake ?
Because in my research on the Deepsea dials, nor Mark I, Mark II nor Mark III make it look like this...

Thanks for your help.

Date is stuck between numbers. End links alignment is off, as in way past lugs. Plus what you said. I’d stay away from this one

At a 10 second glance the RING LOCK SYSTEM font and size is not correct.

Steer clear!

Thanks guys!
I was afraid of that...

A close friend of mine asked me if it was a good idea as I own 3 Rolex, but as I am not a Sea Dweller fan, I wasn't so sure that this watch was real or not...

Thanks again!

It’s fake
Another thing to watch at in fake Deepseas is the lume that is not ‘plane’ into the white gold index

I'm not an expert when it comes to DSSD, but i spotted 10 things wrong with it in few seconds. That tells you what kind of "copy" this is

A minute or two on rolex.com or looking in the classifieds here for images of legit DSSD's will tell you this thing is fake.

That's pretty bad.

It's hard to believe that anyone could pass that off in the nation of Switzerland.

I think the name of your photo tells it all.
