How can one tell his 7206 is the real deal?

[Guinsburg]

Apologies if redundant, doubling up.. But I stumbled into a Replica 7206/80 by some (Vietnam)Ebayer yesterday, after one of my periodic 1675-related searches.

As good as clones may be, I'm suspicious of the pics from that $160 ad; they look pretty good, and to me those vintage Oysters seem more complex, more difficult to replicate it well than the modern ones.

Anyway, I'm trying to find whether some folks have come across this and how can we tell which aspect(s) give it away when compared with a real one, and at the same time being able to validate my own 7206.


Thanks again for any info you may have

If you want to talk replicas, there are plenty of other sites that specialize in them.
