Does any Rolex rep expert have an idea what I have here?

I have been collecting reps..mostly Rolex reps...... the past several years. Unfortunatly for me the day before I found this site I bought a TT Sub from one of the known scam rep sites. Early on I had a link checked and indeed it was solid gold just like advertised. Anyway.....the band is starting to show wear on the end links.....big ding as well as gold plating wear. (end links are plated) Just tonight I decided to remove the bracelet and replace with a black strap. Inbetwen the lugs at 6 oclock was stamped..."stainless steel F646793" and at 12 oclock "Orig Rolex Desing". (yes DESING) I can tell you the following about the watch in terms of quality....

Pros

Very deep and completely cylindrical rehaut

Perfect small gold crown

120 smooth as silk uni directional bezel

date mag is perfect, centered and NOT too far to the right

date font is very good with light gold background color

date changes exactly at 12 midnight. Date centered in date window

hands and dial markers very good

Fit and finish of case is very good. Highly polished case sides, brushed case lug surface...everything is in very good shape.

Its waterproof

Bracelet fit and finish the best I have seen. Fits completely perfect inbetween the lugs. Beautifully brushed surface with no sharp corners

Keeps great time

Nice crystal height

Insert is very nice...close to gen in my opinion

Cons

Dial printing appears to be on the light side

M's do not line up

SWISS MADE skewed slightly to the left ala TW best

Pearl is a flat top

CG need trimming

Bracelet end lugs are plated gold

Deployment clasp wont stay closed

Before I took off the bracelet I thought this was a MBW but with the above inscription inbetween the lugs I am now thinking its a TW best. However I never heard of the mispelling of DESIGN with a TW best. Anyone come across anything like this before? Sorry I cannot attach pictures.

Impossible to tell much without pictures.

If you can upload a few good photos we can most likely identify that rep... or at least can tell you how good it is.

Here is my review of the "TW Best" model. It's also available in TT. Perhaps you can compare it to the photos in my review.

Yes. Please upload a pic.

The TW best sub looks similar. SWISS MADE is skewed to the left just like that sub. My TT though has a much better bracelet with hollow center links. After the holidays I will try to upload some pictures.
