I mentioned in another post I'm looking for a new 116610 but, I have been admiring the BLNR also. I'm keeping my eyes out and rolled across this beauty. The seller has a fair but firm price. I quickly googled fakes/replicas for BLNR as I remembered reading it was difficult to fake because of the bi-colour cerachrome, and to my surprise they are around. I have not bothered to ask for a picture without the casing on but I think it looks suds regardless. Anyone care to play?

Watch in question

Press shot from timeandtide

A side by side comparison I found (fake on the left)

I personally think the numbers are too thin. Like the 22 on left hand side watch in the 3rd picture

Disclaimer I clearly have no clue hence why I ask. I just saw one from a well known seller here which also has thinner, less crowded numbers on the benzel. It really is a minefield.

We need more pictures in clear detail to be able to analyze this watch.

+1
cerachrome is faked albeit not as correct as genuine Rolex.

I am confused all your photos, which is the watch being analyzed?

With all due respect, then you should not be trying to buy a watch in this manner.

Seek out an Authorized dealer or deal with a seller with a solid reputation.

Numbers on left are different and the 6 and 9 are thicker. Newbie opinion

CLH15 · 23 July 2016, 09:39 AM

fake 100%

The white gold rings around the hour markers seem a little too thick. Not 100% it's fake, but I know this much-- the camera is defintely fake.

This.

That pic is way too bad/compressed to make any real determination.

However, two things make me lean towards genuine (for now):
1. Correct hand stack.
2. Correct (thin) GMT hand.

Still, no way to say for sure without better pics.

Al1969 · 23 July 2016, 02:49 PM

Definitely looks fake.

Jacobson · 23 July 2016, 05:08 PM

Tough to say with just one very bad pic

sachal007 · 24 July 2016, 06:23 PM

If we are talking about the watch in the first 2 pics, it is definitely gen.

Both watches?

mapalfa · 24 July 2016, 07:59 PM

Hard to tell with the angle, but the rehaut engraving looks badly aligned around the 16 to 18 area.

I'd pass on it too.

Yes, if we are talking about the first "two" pics. The last one where you see it next to a fake is easily distinguishable.

See how the engravings on the left look misaligned.

usrudiver932 · 25 July 2016, 04:37 AM

The 2's on the 2, 22, & 20.......the top end of fonts are different. Round on 2 and 20 pointed on 22. Orig on right is rounded

They appear this way due to the depth of the engravings and the shadow caused by the light.

My vote is still 100% gen. If you can get more pics it will be a lot easier.

If you look at the engraved "Rolex" on the top left, you can see each letter is off center.
