Is this Submariner correct?
The cyclops on this Submariner just does not look right to me. Not sure if the magnification just looks wrong, or if it’s the bubbles in the adhesive or what looks like overspray all around it, but it just looks off. It’s possible that I have no clue, or it's simply a replacement, or that there is more wrong with the watch than I can tell. What do others think?

If not sure, don't buy.
Regarding the hand/dial lume mismatch, that is common and due to service hands having been installed while keeping the dial original. As far as I can tell service hands are the least of this watch's problems. Looks like some polishing "professional" really went to town on the crown guards. |

I'm not buying it, and it’s not for sale anyway as far as I know. I'm simply just interested. Thanks. |

Where did you get it?
Who is it? Why are you asking? Or, is it just a picture off the internet that you are interested in? |

Not sure answers to any of those questions are required to evaluate the watch in its own right, but it’s a watch from a WRUW post in a group that is full of serious watch enthusiasts and I was curious. When I am curious about anything Rolex, I naturally come here to ask. |

I think there was confusion as to if this was just a curiosity thing or if you were looking to buy it. That’s all. |

I can never spot the fakes, but this one looks really fake.

How is this a 5512 dial? It has a date window and 1000ft/300m.
Looks like a 16800 to me with perhaps a well polished case or photo from poor angel. Quote:

Looks like an early 1980's 16800?
Hands appear to be replacement as the lume doesn't match the dial, and the crown guards seem to be smaller than I'd expect them to be. Do you have any other information about the watch? |

Looks like a matte dial 16800, with a bit of overpolishing. May not be a service hands as sometimes they patina at different rate.

The hands look weird along with the date magnification.
I can't make a call beyond that.

I’m still deciding if it’s the Rolex from Mad Max, Road Warrior or Fury Road?
