When I was a little boy I would build plastic models (planes, cars).
Once I built a Lockeed F-104 Starfighter, 1:32 scale, that included the engine too. You had to assemble and paint the engine parts. Then, the engine was put inside the fuselage, where it couldn't be seen.
Another time, I assembled a Formula 1. The kit included some decals to be applied on the shock absorbers, hidden inside the body.
A reproduction is a reproduction; and the accuracy isn't questionable.
If someone wanted to cheat, could he count on the markers between the lugs?
As you say, they cannot be seen; so how could he count on them?
On the other side, if someone can remove the bracelet, in the same way he can check the movement or other parts
For my part, I don't think ill of anyone.
