Hello all. I'm looking to go pick up a rolex this weekend. The seller is advertising this as a sea-dweller ref. 16660 "triple six" with a 8mil serial. Just wondering if this looks authentic to you all. Thanks in advance for any help.

From that (those) two photos no one could categorically confirm if that watch is genuine - you can not even read the dial!

Does it shout fake? No, but I would not purchase based on those photos

The bezel insert is not original. Looks like from a later year.

Lugs are super overpolished can't say it's real from those pics for sure

Yep, insert is not original, and it looks like it may have been over-polished. Also, it's hard to tell from the pic, but the dial may not be original either. If it's a Luminova dial (Swiss Made) instead of a tritium dial (Swiss - T<25), then I'd say it's a replacement. I know these were transitional models, but every (original) one I've seen has had a tritium dial/hands.
