[Need experts] Please help me evaluate my Hulk

Hello Rolex friends!

I bought my 116610LV Hulk back in late 2014 from a well-known reseller in my country with a fair price (since at that time it's impossible to get a Hulk from official dealers). Because of their reputation and commitment, I did not go to the official Rolex service to check its authenticity. Recently, I needed some money and wanted to sell it, but after sending some pictures to a private dealer in Canada (very low resolution since it's via mms), he absolutely confirmed that this is a Fake and he didn't want to buy it. I checked my Rolex multiple times during its life, including using Jeweller Loupe and comparing with tips that people show on Youtube. Except for the color of the dial that I'm not sure about, everything else was good, even the precision of the watch (it's +/-1 second/day). Please check my pictures and videos below for my Hulk under the sun and give me your opinion. Actually, color was the only characteristic that the professional dealer confirmed that it's fake just by looking at the pictures. Thank you so much, everyone.

(I could not post videos)

It would seem the true color of this watch would be hard to capture in a photo. I could take three pictures of mine in the same room and have all three look different by adjusting the angle slightly. What was his issue with the color? I thought I had even read threads on here where the color of various model years had a very slight difference.

Fyi, I am a far cry from an expert and can't give input into whether it's authentic, I just find the reasoning interesting.

He said the color is too light and yellow, the authentic one should be "greener" and darker.

I found one that i took that looks similar. This watch photographs a lot of different ways.

If you’re not running to an AD or RSC to confirm something nagging like this then I’d say you very likely know the answer.

Looks good to me, proper under direct sunlight, sunburst effect. Do you have box and papers, or is it watch only? Could you post pictures of everything the watch came with?

The only thing that stands out to me is the lume dot on the bezel does not look like it is in the centre, slightly to the left but may well be the angle.

Who cares what a random dealer says over text message if you originally bought it from a reputable dealer? Just move on buddy and sell it somewhere else. Why not go back to that well known seller and sell it back to him? You got it super cheap in 2014 and now it is worth three times what you paid
