Seem like there improved Reps that fixes the some of the obvious indicator of being fakes

1. Strap 6 stitches to 5 stitches, still the quality of the stitching is bad still.
2. Wonky Font printing of the TACHYMETRE on the bezel, no more slanted T/E

Some of the things that still usable to identify reps (mostly the back)

1. The chrono system linking to the 2 o'clock subdial
2. The rear debossed wording
3. The crown and the buttons shape
4. The imprint on the lugs space

the above is things that can be check with the unit alone, no need to have another legit on hand to able to differentiate

Others like the testure of the Bioceramic material, the strap material would require side by side compare to see the difference. For now there is still point to be used to ID, and most probably stay for some time, since making a newer tooling is a substantial cost for what they are doing

Hi all, I need some help here. As from the imgur link I am repairing a fan, battery is punctured. So I tried to get the same model, but only found a 5000mAh x 2 instead of 4000mAh x 2

Not major issue on that, but the problem is that the old battery doesn't have any PCB, I guessing it's controlled at the fan PCB, but in the new battery, it did come with a simple PCB, guessing a simple BMS(if you can even called it that)

My issue is that should I remove the small PCB or does having this PCB have no negative effect?
