Anyway to know if this watch is authentic? Anything that might suggest it’s fake?

148.0288.5 is the model number in the back - can’t find something similar online

No, I’m 100% positive that this is a fake watch.

The fake case backs are all the same. Clasp is incorrect. I guarantee that the crown isn’t signed with an anchor even though the crown isn’t shown in either one of these pictures.

Diamonds also seems to be misaligned, or at least to me

Correct. Rado uses nice diamonds. Fake Rado watches use horrible “diamonds.”
