Fake 16750?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-GMT-M...MAAOSwmZVc8Ds-

Quality of photos are horrendous, handstack seems to be wrong and just looks super sketch overall.

What say you?

Believe it or not it’s a genuine 16750. Aftermarket insert and aftermarket or overpolished plexi but it’s real.

I had one come in a while back with an over polished crystal that looked exactly the same on the date magnification:

It’s plexi so someone had polished the scratches from it. Less material on the cyclops = lower magnification.

Those lume plots look tall enough to touch the crystal.

Mine is real.

The eBay watch is real. I can’t be bothered to go into details tonight I don’t have the time.

Yes the insert is aftermarket/fake as maybe the crystal. The case, dial (re-lumed but real), hands and bracelet are genuine.

Crown is fine. 6mm on a GMT.

Oh and the hand stack is fine. Above the hour hand where it should be.

Agreed, it’s rough. The fake insert and poor magnification alone throw most people off.

The hand stack is good. Crap pictures you’re right but you can just about make it out on a blown up image.

Not a bad thing for me if everyone thinks it’s fake. Less bids to compete against :)

Thanks for sharing OP.

Handstack for 16750 is CORRECT

Watch is genuine!

Not funny at all.
Hand stack for that model is sufficient

You clearly don’t know much.


The watch is in terrible shape, crystal and insert both look aftermarket.


Watch appears genuine. I would love for you to show me a correct hand stack 167xx watch. It’s really all you need to authenticate the majority of GMT watches.

That is horribly inaccurate info. There have been correct hand stack fakes for YEARS.

I will let you be the judge:
The watch OP is discussing is a 16750 - a GMT MASTER , not the GMT II you photo shows.
The 16750 was FIRST model to have handstack with GMT in middle, the previous 1675 did NOT.

The OPs watch is correct and genuine

Correct hand stack fakes were introduced about 16 months ago, and are used in all modern model (fakes)

I never saw one retro fitted from 16750 model of 1981-88

my post wasn't directed at you ... hence the quotation mark ...
@ttnpb asked for right hand stack on a 167xx and I have provided that.

This is also horribly inaccurate info. I'm not going to post details but I promise, they have been around for at least 5+ years.

Really, 5+ years? Counterfeits with correct hand stack??
Which movement were they using?

Oh yeah. Won't post which ETA was the base but they were modified to work as needed. Same way fakes modify movements to get the correct sub dial layout in Daytonas.


When I first got into Rolex (actually buying rather than drooling over) I was very scared about getting a fake so I did my homework (I even remember asking a very trusted seller here if they'd take the back off a BNIB model so I could verify the movement. lol)

I dont think so. The functioning 4130 layout DAYTONA movements do not and have NEVER used an ETA movement
There is no ETA GMT movement with hand stack as ROLEX do.

As I mentioned the first fake correct hand stacks use a modified Asian movement launched around January 2018

thereafter I am out of this FAKE discussion

I never said the Daytonas were using an ETA movement and I also didn't say the ETA movements being used in the GMT were stock/unmodified.
