is that a lemon ??

I was browsing on Ebay and found this specimen...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-GMT-M...UAAOSwksBbaPV~

now I know that Pro Hunter is a real thing however I am not sure if this one is ... I mean, someone already put a bid on it, I would hate for them to get a lemon.

what are your guys thoughts ? the pics are all over the place, I don't even know if pro hunter made a 16710

1) I don't think you're supposed to link replica sites.

2) If real the PVD looks pretty chipped.

Don't make someone else's problem yours. You posted it to give warning. If your right you did u did your best, if your wrong someone is getting a watch.

I have no idea, but here is the website and they run 18.5k; perhaps a Bamford type?

I looked everywhere and couldn't find a 16710 so I assumed it is fake. plus who would engraved this watch 80/100 series and sell it for 3k ?? I reported it because the guy doesn't want to send more pictures of the serial and when I am asked question about the origin of the watch, he started to ignore my msg.

definitely fishy about the one ebay...especially with the two different models being shown and the reticence to communicate.
I don't really care for these even if it were direct from this after market re finisher.

Just got thru messaging with seller.
Says he changes the dials around !!

Once in a blue moon I'll change straps, but this guy is so particular he goes all the way to changing dials, ..I guess to match his wardrobe
