Suspect Deal for 16610

Hello all. This is my first post. I guess I can't post pics as I'm new, so I just have to tell this. I was in the midst of buying a 16610 from an NJ collector for what he said was a 2007 Z serial 16610. He sent pics of an M serial 2011 watch. The recipt serial and watch in pic serial match. He's asking 5800. I am suspicious of this. Would you go ahead with this deal? Any help appreciated.

Do you trust the seller? That is the first question you need to answer. He might have sent you the wrong pictures?

My research shows the 16610 production stopped in 2010. After 2011 rolex serials were random. Too many inconsistencies with this seller. Try HQ Milton or a trusted seller here

I do not know him. Seems legit. Works for a jewelry store. I just got that feeling. The pics are of the correct watch He just got the watch. You know how you'e in the long line and there's a short one nearby. BTW, I know he sells on ebay. Would the sn help? I have that.

If you have that feeling, walk away.
There are plenty of great sellers here and you could get a better deal

And , I'm sorry, I had a typo, the watch serial is from 2008, not 2011. Sorry. Had 2011 in my head.

So how desperate are you to send $5800 to someone you do not know in the hope you will get what he says he has for sale?
