A genuine red Submariner with a fake box - now there is a seller one wouldn't want to trust much. Box is definitely fake.

X2 Dave. Based on the quality of the pics, and some of the very deceptive fake dials being produced, it is a tough call on this watch. Personally, I didn't care for the "s's" in Swiss, but it could be the pics.

my answer: there has never been a original closed 6 dial with a

m that had a tail. that has always been the simpliest way to spot one.

then the crown (on the dial)and the size of the 4 lines etc

cheers
