Taken under a desk lamp with a phone camera. Took about 5 seconds. Cropped even further obviously so a loss a detail, but it's a phone camera. Can't expect much more. If you have a better camera and lighting, then yes, it is physically possible to capture the LEC very easily.

Maybe it's still a fake, but the LEC isn't solid, or at least not completely solid. |

Was he maybe trolling to see if he could just pass this watch off as real? |

I think this a really good superfake. I would need to see movement to tell for sure.

You have to zoom in to see but take a look at the screws in the bracelet. Try zooming in on the OP's photo as it is better quality than the one with the arrows.

this watch could be made up from real Rolex parts, the ceramic insert is no fake, the precision in the number cuts and the platinum finish there has still yet to be faked to anything as close as this watch bezel insert.

UPDATE!!!
the reason im not replying simply because i didnt have time to go to AD/RSC yet. but today i did. i ask them to examine the watch. it is genuine watch. but there are 2 problems with the watch. - first, the bezel is a little bit mis align (which can be fix by removing the bezel insert) - second, the "U" in perpetual is a factory flaw i think this case it proved that rolex really bad QC. the watchmaker even showed me some watch that being service that have misalign bezel insert. and i took some photos at the RSC :) |

In sunlight I can see the laser etching on my BLNR on almost all photos. Purchased from an AD so this is not a good indicator of a fake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I may be seeing things, but the C's in "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" appear as if they are slightly taller than all the other letters. I just compared the pics to my husband's 114060 and they don't seem to appear like that. And then again like the others, I'd also be concerned about the very visible LEC and also the U in "perpetual". I feel like Rolex wouldn't let that "U" mistake go to market with an error like that. They have a reputation for very precise craftsmanship.

Replicas are 1:1 nowadays. We can't tell ya just by pics. Better check the movement!

LEC is not a good tell for a replica. They’ve been faking that for years. This watch looks good though.
