He must of known it was a fake as he paid for it as a treat for himself as he says.

you bought a watch off your friends wrist while playing poker?
At least this was a better read than the normal watch out stories centered around getting a watch after your uncle died. |

Sorry for the OP, but glad his good friend righted the wrong. Not sure why he didn’t just do side by side photos with his other one though. Sometimes these threads take strange turns.

I hope this picture let’s everyone focus back on the real conversation. I just didn’t check the watch at all when he gave it to me. With a collection like that, it’s not surprising you didn’t bother to check. I’m sure you assumed the other players were up to suitable standards. |

It’s a garbage fake but i get it. Playing cards, probably not well lit room, not focusing on every single detail of the watch. I wanna see the card table, their must have been some serious cash there! That collection is so good!

I did compare it with my 2019 GMT II LN but I assumed this could be an earlier version with some differences on the bracelet and dial. Quote:

So you have three BLNRs, but three months ago you had none?

Saying "I know I don’t have a Batman... but it’s so similar to anything I have already... isn’t it crazy to buy the same watch with just different colors?" then suddenly having three the same seems a bit strange.

Hand stack looks correct to me
Bezel is fake as is case, dial and bracelet (I suspect) Would love to see the movement - I have a feeling its genuine as there were NO correct "fake" hand stack movements even 2 years ago. This is a genuine ROLEX movement in fake case, bracelet and dial. Lets see a photo of movement or at least engraving between lugs at 12 O Clock Adam

Did I buy a fake BLNR?

Well, I had the opportunity to buy three of them within few days and I couldn’t say no. What are you trying to find? |

I wrote that first because I wasn’t in the mood to answer people that try to somehow prove that I’m lying or something, then since I consider myself a respectful and educated person I edited it. Again, what are you trying to find? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think Adam is doing his job as a Mod - seeking truth.

Do you care to explain what’s not real about the case, rehaut engravings, dial, crystal, bracelet, clasp, hands (except the GMT hand) or are you just jumping on the band wagon? I suspect the latter, as you clearly haven’t got a clue what you’re looking at. |

Seems like an odd comment. Less than three years ago you were asking about a case back authenticity on a fairly basic watch. Then, every thread you created after was either warning about fakes or posting feedback from purchases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If nothing else, this forum always helps me see how the other half live, would have been a hell of a game of poker.

Whoa, everyone!!!
I know I’m a relative new comer, but this thread is getting pretty hot under the collar!! Lots of inferences and nasty antagonism!! Everyone’s interested in the story for many reasons. First, because I don’t think most of us can fathom the amount of money that the OP deals with. That case and his collection, puts him in a league far above most of us. ( I can’t WAIT to hear the response that comes from that statement… !!). That comment is no way disparaging! More power to him, and I’m envious of some of his beautiful toys. . . But I’m finding it interesting that so many of the posters want to try to “catch him in his story” or in someway show him to be dishonest. It’s all just silly. He owns-up to the fact that he bought this during a poker game, from an old friend who doesn’t know anything about watches. (Wow!… I’d love to know what great wines they were drinking! ). It’s a interesting and somewhat humorous tale! So let’s wait until we get the photos from his AD and we’ll have more to talk about. But can we tone down the rhetoric just a little? The accusations are pretty intense, and we are all on this forum for similar reasons. Let’s just have fun, OK?

The numbers on the bezel are painted on. Not engraved and platinum sprayed. It shouldn't chip off like that. It's a fake. End of.
I don't know mrN, but looking at his previous posts (that I've participated in), he's a certified "baller". I guess that could get people's knickers in a tangle and not able to fathom someone out there is able to pay 100,150,200K for a watch. Guy bought it off his friend (who btw is a loser for wearing a fake, and I certainly hope he gets cut from the friendship group after the money has been repaid) and wasn't told it was a fake. We can't all be experts, especially during poker and 10 drinks down throughout a night of play. |

Since my post was deleted; I will rephrase.
I suggest we keep an open mind on the legitimacy until proven otherwise. OP seems to have a collection far above the rest of us. Throwing around a BLNR at a poker game is not far fetched. |

It’s an early 116710ln poorly converted to a BLNR with fake parts. The rehaut engraving design has been changed on these watches. It’s perfect for the period. Have a look at 2008-2011ish models and look at the engravings. They’ll be exactly the same; dark double engraved. They then changed to a lighter, double engraving around 2012. They were then changed again to what we have today, laser engraved.
Edit to add pictures. 2008 rehaut engraving the same as this watch: 2012 lighter double engraved: 2016 Current style laser engraved: |

If you bothered to read the whole thread you’d see that the authenticity of the bezel insert and GMT hand isn’t disputed anywhere. It’s clear as day the bezel insert is fake and more than likely the GMT hand. The watch however is genuine.
