I can’t remember what text was different on this fake box. Something was extra I believe.
The text on the chain itself is the giveaway. And the plastic of the bag. Note how it’s cheap like a grocery plastic bag.
The real DA is a sturdy hard plastic bad designed to hold the chain and keep the lube fresh—I’d guess.
Dura-Ace chain has hollow pins, which is not the case in the above picture, so that is the clearest giveaway. Also, my Ultegra chain came neatly arranged with all links at the same level, and it seems that the packaging (sturdy bag backed by folded instructions within box) was designed to keep the chain that way during transport and storage.
