Fake 16750?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-GMT-M...MAAOSwmZVc8Ds-
Quality of photos are horrendous, handstack seems to be wrong and just looks super sketch overall. What say you? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

Believe it or not it’s a genuine 16750. Aftermarket insert and aftermarket or overpolished plexi but it’s real.
I had one come in a while back with an over polished crystal that looked exactly the same on the date magnification: Last edited by antrolexsub; 1 June 2019 at 05:14 AM.. Reason: Added picture. |

It’s plexi so someone had polished the scratches from it. Less material on the cyclops = lower magnification.

The eBay watch is real. I can’t be bothered to go into details tonight I don’t have the time. Yes the insert is aftermarket/fake as maybe the crystal. The case, dial (re-lumed but real), hands and bracelet are genuine. Crown is fine. 6mm on a GMT. |

The watch is in terrible shape, crystal and insert both look aftermarket. Watch appears genuine. I would love for you to show me a correct hand stack 167xx watch. It’s really all you need to authenticate the majority of GMT watches. |

Those lume plots look tall enough to touch the crystal.

Oh and the hand stack is fine. Above the hour hand where it should be.

Agreed, it’s rough. The fake insert and poor magnification alone throw most people off.
The hand stack is good. Crap pictures you’re right but you can just about make it out on a blown up image. Not a bad thing for me if everyone thinks it’s fake. Less bids to compete against :) Thanks for sharing OP. |

There was a period of time where fake correct handstack watches popped up for only 16710 models.
The watch in question is a 16750, a fake correct handstack model does not exist. The new ceramic fakes have a modified ETA clone to produce the correct handstack. Those watches use hand sizes that will not fit any other movement, with the exception of the minute hand, that apparently uses ETA sizing. A fake case to fit the modified handstack ETA has never been seen, at least by me. It simply doesn't exist. The only way that would work is completely milling a custom case and non maxi hands, ultimately defeating the purpose of having a fake watch, monetarily. |
