Suspicious GMT

My friend is looking at a gmt locally and i'm trying to help him out. The bracelet engravings looks weird to me. Did rolex ever produce a scrambled GMT with bracelet codes this small?



Heres a few more pictures of the watch in question.

It’s not good.

Asking Stevie Wonder to remove the bracelet was also less than optimal.

Suspicious GMT

I hope this rotated perspective and improved exposure of one pic gives you enough to have your friend give the seller a wide berth.



That pic is worth dozens of word.

So I’ve had a couple of PMs - I’d just as soon share these pics so everyone draws their own conclusions.


First OP’s pic enhanced



.

Now a known good 3186

Subtle, but oddly obvious.

I still can’t see it. I’m never ever buying a used watch.

For all the lengths and trouble some of these counterfeiters go to, why don't they just invest in their own brand?
