Original or Fake 116523 Rolex.
Good evening Everybody!
This is my first message here and post. Usually i read you alot, but today comes a day, when i found a good watch for tasty price. It's Rolex Daytona 116523. Unfortunately we don't have an official service master from Rolex here. Only sells managers. And i can't trust them a lot. Asking you to help me identify the authentity of this watch by further photos. And thank you! |

I got some doubts about this one comparing it to previous listings of trusted sellers in this forum. The again the photos are not the best. Curious what others think.

Photos made by seller and i've already asked him do the best - and those are his "best" work =/
Wasted about half night to compare face with original and couldn't find any differences. Sorry for my English! |

In the end, it's your decision if you want to buy it or not. Just keep in mind that there a lot of watches out there. Unless it's a very rare piece that is not produced anymore, there is no reason to go into any risk. This model is readily available from many sellers that have a good reputation. And a good camera.

Minute hand seems too long on the left. One on right just touches the minutes but could be the angle

My only comment, and I am not claiming fake, is, the watch is a Mark 3 dial, I thought the Mk 4 dial was introduced in 2015 (date on your invoice in 2016)
Just a point worth checking. Adam

pic on the right - I see a hole in the middle pin. Isn't that fake?

Looks OK from here, apart from the chrono running or not being reset. Nothing really jumps out as being counterfeit, although better pics would certainly help.
As always, they are just pics though, and not proof of possession by any means. |

Too good to be true usually means just that. If you have any doubts at all then pass IMO.
