16718 legit check

Was eyeing this 16718 with jubilee. What do you all think? I was most concerned honestly about the clasp which looks a bit chewed up to me. The crown also looks a bit fuzzy not so Sharp on the clasp. Any help appreciated!

It looks over polished to me and with the wrong bracelet/clasp.

the font on the bezel looks weird- 20/22 and 2 and 4 look larger.

It should have the same clasp as every other GMT. Currently, it looks like it has a jubilee bracelet that has come from a day date (or date just). The original bracelet is missing..

Someone else will confirm, I could be wrong (it has happened once before).

I saw this old post of a 16718 from TRF with a jubilee so I think they did come like that. Though I am worried bc the clasp looks a ton cleaner on that one!

I may well be wrong, or that watch above may also have had the switch? The GMT being a sports model would have come with a locking clasp the same as every other Professional model? This is my understanding.. I may be wrong though..

EDIT: having thought about it, I don't think have ever seen a jubilee on a clasp other than the above, so I am wrong, I will collect my coat...

Clasp is correct for a gold jubilee
I can only see one picture?

I'm asking about the clasp in the original post. Looks kinda deformed right?

looks like it has been re-welded on, likely broke off at some stage
watch is authentic
