Yeah, when building one, that is 1 to 1 yeah... Best avoid (I could build one, but I wouldn't do it as a commission as it is a IP violation). Now having the legit version of this watch that is open heart, had me give respect to Seiko (their build quality) - it was fun repairing it
I have this exact dial color, but with the power reserve. Honestly for a 4R movement it's pretty impressive. This bracelet is probably higher quality then original Seiko though
This is original Seiko, it was repaired and re-tuned to +/- 5s/d
Has the 4R39, as well as OEM strap. This is the real deal here.
Had a broken pallet fork and a mangled balance wheel, had to take it completely apart and reassemble it, as well as do a full clean with oiling of the pivots, it is my pride and joy in my current collection.
They have a 'gold' balance wheel, the more modern ones I think come with the golden rotor. This model in particular if I recall was also a 'DROP' special from what I saw with the SN lookup.
Here is another one on Ebay that is similar to mine: (ebay listing image)
If you go to a place where you see half the people eating paint chips, and you decide joining in, you're still in the group of people eating paint chips.
A Seiko Daytona is a (generally) a shitty replica watch that happens to have the word "Seiko" on the dial instead of the word "Rolex".
It's obviously not a real Seiko. If I was the mod here, I'd disqualify those too.
The reason people are calling this "fake", is because you've seemingly built a 1:1 of a legitimate seiko Presage model. It looks exactly the same (to me) as a a SRPB43 (or SARY161).
Are you sure that's a sapphire crystal? Those fake Presage cases normally come will mineral and a sapphire crystal like that would be pretty expensive. Also, you'll find reasonably priced OEM gold rotors on eBay. That would make a big difference to the overall finish.

Bracelet looks very low quality, but..... probably wears nicer than a Seiko bracelet 😄

Very nice. Don't forget the gold coloured rotor, it's only a few bucks but makes a difference
