is this a replica or a real submariner?

Absolutely and irrefutably counterfeit.

I hate to see the word replica used to add an air of legitimacy to an industry run by criminals.

Counterfeit is the only word that truly describes what these items really are.

Or perhaps another word

OK, I think we have enough votes for the Fake category. On fact it's none for the legit camp...

As such, since the OP has his answer & we don't need to continue discussing the fake, I'm closing the thread...
