Hi. I'm trying to determine if this is a genuine Royal Oak Diver. Can anyone offer any insight?

Thanks!

The date looks kind of strange to me, but I maybe wrong.

It's fake, to my untrained eyes at least. The date screams fake.

It would help if you can get better photos.

Don’t think we need more/better photos – it’s not a genuine 15703 or 10.
Datewheel font isn’t the most reliable method, since AP changed it during both the 03 production run, iirc – it’s the inner bezel that gives it away.
AP prints a base layer, then puts the lume within it, leaving an outline/border – like so.

Okay...your eyes are sharper than mine.

This is just about the best fake they make so I would be very wary unless you trust the source.

I don't like it, date is a giveaway

The stick markers don't line up perfectly with the dial pattern. Definitely a copy.
