Looks very questionable to me...I'd stay away from this one.

Looks questionable and I've been here 3 months, need to see serial at 6 between the lugs and also straight on at the date and more of bracelet. Bezel color seems off maybe bad pic, 12 o'clock bezel marker seems wrong and coronet on bracelet seems too far down.....it could be the pics. Need more and clearer. DO NOT base on my opinion, still learning

I am a jeweler that specializes in diamonds and have a customer that wants to sell it but wanted to clarify beforehand but i think the best thing would be to have it opened up by a watchmaker and have it checked out before any commitment

the box looks to be fake... and in the background it appears to have "paperwork" if this is a "hulk" model then it would have a card not a piece of paper im pretty sure...... then again i have been known to be wrong on the odd occasion lol!

will wait for some the experts to chime in ....

You can tell basically nothing from those photos.
We need straight on photos of dial, rehaut (or between lugs) and bezel, clear photos of bracelet clasp, both straight on and side on

Watch is fake no question about it. Looks to be a 116610LV but doesn't have rehaut engravings. Clasp is wrong. 'Ceramic' insert shines like it's made of aluminium.
