Tudor 9411/0 fake?

Dear community! Have been looking for a nice original snowflake for a couple of weeks and just came across this one at an reasonable price. My sense for the fakes is still emerging, but I am smelling something is wrong with this one. Would appreciate your help in calling a fake or genuine watch here.

Things that seem suspicious:
- riveted bracelet
- "T"s around the "SWISS" not centered between the minute marks
- case shows very little wear
- "prince oysterdate" printing seems a bit too big/wide
- "=" is too big/wide and has spaces around it
- the "/" in 9411/0 seems not tilted enough

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

You identified all the red flags. Move on and find a real one. Can you tell us where you found it and what country?

Thanks. Smart you did your due diligence. With so many counterfeits I find it best to deal with US sellers. A lot easier to return if you need to do so. Good luck in your search.

If nothing else were obvious, that awful stamped "engraving" on the caseback screams FAKE!

I am amazed by the amount of vintage Tudor fakes out there! Even with Rolex it didn't seem even half that bad to me!

Thanks everyone for the advice! Got myself a nice 79090 (with the community blessing in another thread ) at a bargain from a US seller.
