Other than the initial batch of fake DP1 having 9 holes rather than 10, I don't know how to spot them.

I'd also like to know what the give away was.

So there really is an extra "I" in Breitling? That is kinda weird to me. I get that it's probably hard to tell when the strap is on the watch, but still. Did they try to put like half the "I" on one Piece and the other half on the other piece?

The genuine ones also have the "I" split between the two halves as show here on the genuine pic from this website.

The tell here though on this fake is the shape of the buckle.

also as br549 says the buckle is strange

I never know with buckles, they do change every now and then but agree the "I" is way off.
