Real or Fake

Purchased a Explorer II on eBay. Watch itself seems ok. Band I'm on the fence about. Rather than describe it, I'm attaching a couple pictures. Thanks for the help in advance.

Yeah I'd say that's suspect.

Am I right in thinking it should have engraved SELs?

Here are pics of the watch. I didn't see anything questionable about the watch so I didn't post pictures of it. Perhaps I am wrong...

The crystal looks rough. Are those scratches or dirt?

Bracelet is fake, I would put a strap on it because that bracelet is damaging the reference and serial numbers. If those ever wear completely off you will have a very hard time selling.

Easily told by the movement. Replicas cannot replicate the EXPL.II movement functions.
