Is it real Big Crown Tudor 7924, Lots of pics

I find this a bid odd as the dial appears to be correct as well as the hands, Bezel, Plexi, movement and case back,
Case is approx 37mm Dia,
Taked big spring bars,
Crown is all wrong so we will move right past that,
Here are several pics

And now for the part I can't make sense of,
Serial is 930623
I can't figure that part out,
Case looks right,
Uses a 29.5 case back tool.
Im a bit stumped. IS THIS A FAKE ?
Please help

Out of curiosity do the service scratch dates get faked?
What are the items that are noticed that I didn't see?
the dots between the roman numerals
The sprung steel on the rotor,
The crown not original brevet
7924 low on case
Movement looks correct but worn,
Serial in the 93**** range,
~ ~ ~ ~
So was the case made strictly for show?
How about the case back?
Ide like to know more about what to look for.
Thank you
Peter B

Moot point. There are lots of high-resolution photos of early Tudor subs to be found. Our comments here won't do a thing.

Agree. Professional fakers do not need our identification training. Suggest we change the policy here of not discussing why something is fake.
