Opinions on 16610 case/case back

Evening Gents,

Also posted this in the general Rolex section, thought I may get more help here.

I've seen a 16610 case and caseback on eBay I'm looking to buy. For some reason it doesn't quite sit right with me.

Wondering what others thought of this. Stampings in the caseback look very faint:

Case is here, opinions on this? Thanks in advance:

In my opinion case is genuine - interested to hear what others say.

Case back - sorry no idea

Yes I thought so to at first glance. However something seems off with both. The case seems to have a cutout for the movement screws at 4/5 o clock.

I can't spot any difference between those two. After i'm no expert.

It's fake Gents the seller just sent me extra pictures of the case viewed from the back. Has cutouts along the movement screw grove where they shouldn't be.
