Listing on Chrono24

[zorinindustries]

I’ve been in the market for a 16610 from my birth year. Peruse the listings daily. Although this is not what I’m after, this has me suspicious. Just strikes me the wrong way, I suppose? I thought about reporting it, but wanted to get input first. No need to say what’s wrong - just report if not authentic! I notice a couple things that are off.

Of course, I may be completely off base (I’m no expert), but I had a buddy get scammed by a so called “frankenstein” watch and it hits close to home. Thanks for checking it out!

Looks all genuine to me from external side that is.
Looks polished.
What exactly do you see wrong?

That’s good to hear! I hadn’t reported it because I wasn’t sure. The date window magnification and the font were odd (May be the angle?). The markers and proportions just seemed off. There are SO many differences between years etc. I figured I’d run it past the forum to save someone if it were off. Thanks!

I think all OK - case is surely genuine, but polished. Dial looked OK to me.
I am sure others will comment

Thanks so much - perhaps my inexperience is showing. Perhaps also too sensitive? I just HATE scammers and there have been so many people on here lately with troubles. Maybe I’m paranoid! Haha.

Chrono24 is GTG!

Private seller, no papers - what could possibly go wrong?

If you are in doubt then look elsewhere.

I would pass.

Just FYI - I’m not considering purchasing this watch. I simply spotted it in a search, thought some things were suspect, but wanted an opinion before reporting it. Don’t want to bring down a genuine listing, but if it is fraudulent in any way, I’d like to save some poor sap from being scammed.

Some issues.
1) Wrong bezel insert. Could be a service replacement or aftermarket. It should have a flat 4 tritium insert.
2) Over-polished in my opinion. Some parts of the bracelet looks almost reflective! Spring bars can be seen almost protruding out of the case, which is a sign of over polishing.
3) Date magnification looks way off. Probably aftermarket crystal. I've checked my 16610, even after tilting it at different angles, the date window still shows a decent amount of magnification.
