Tudor 9411/0 Submariner Authentication

Hey gang...I could use some thoughts on authenticity of this 9411/0. My biggest concern is the 54XXXX serial, which is too early for this model. Pics below, and thanks in advance:

I don't see anything I like on this one. I'd run and never look back.

Thanks, Dan. I picked it up on some blurry snaps, but from a reputable seller and with a clearly defined refund option, backed by ebay and paypal. I knew things were off right after opening the box this morning and taking some snaps. Thought I would have my worries confirmed before processing the return.

Hope we have a few others to back me up on this. But the bracelet, hands, and case engraving look off to me.

Well I knew the bracelet was not original to the piece. Was more concerned about the watch itself.

Here is another angle on the hands and dial:

Case back engraving seems too thick, the dial printing is off, and minute and second hands are too long compared to my 9411.

I remember reading about fakes having a long E in stainless steel. This looks to have it....

Agree with Dan - all looks iffy to me. Run! Even the font/numerals on the insert are of different thicknesses - check the 20 compared to the 50. Not to mention the colour...

The bracelet is a joke, and if you knew that was dodgy, what's the likelihood that the watch will be any good?!

It's all wrong, case-back engraving, case looks brand new, crown is wrong, hands look off in shape - all the stuff already listed

I was not clear when I noted the bracelet. Meant to say I could tell the bracelet was wrong right away when I opened the parcel. Was looking for confirmation on the rest of the piece. While I was fairly certain, it never hurts to have the opinions of others when sending a piece back. Thanks to all who have added to this thread. It is a shame that one has to be so guarded about watches, but great to have a community of enthusiasts to rely on.

...hmmm...COMPLETE COUNTERFEIT...

...you all have missed the OBVIOUS...long E.

...likewise, as some have already mentioned, the band is ALSO counterfeit.
