What do you guys think? The date font looks wrong and sunken, the subdial spacing slightly too wide.

I think it's fake. Date font definitely looks wrong and bezel numbers / pearl look off. Is there a known serial number range for these fakes, looks like it starts 30?

I don't think there is a definitive narrow serial number range on the fakes of this model but they seem to use 300xxxx.

Here is a side-by-side with a gen. The subdial spacing looks inconclusive, perhaps the dial diameter has been reduced to correct this flaw. The dial ring looks thicker on the fake. The more notable things are the incorrect B logo on sec hand, lack of crispness on the date font. The fake has a circular subdial pattern, not sure if this is correct?

Fake to me, no doubt.
Date font and narrower 3, 6, 9 hour markers.
