Cloned Rolex movements are also not very good. Some really good pictures of fake movements on the web. From afar, pretty good. When you really look close, they are very far off.

It’s a volume issue with greys. Most could catch it every single time if they looked. It’s not difficult. But they are moving so many watches collectively, stuff slips by.
no shortage of people making "franken watches"- swopping the fake dial, handsets and crystals with the genuine parts.
Opposite is also true- Given the current market madness for bright colored OPs I wouldn't be surprised to see fake blue , yellow and red dials finding their way into gen OP cases.
