Nice pics! I am from just west of DC, and you have to be way careful of watches around here. Lots of hot pieces, and TONS of fakes. I am sure you have come across some yourself...
As for this one....

fake
I must say that this is one of the fakes that I have been able to tell. I don't see white gold surrounds on the dial, and they should be there on a 16610. Is there any other way to tell it is a fake?

My eBay message to him:
Hi, I might be interested in bidding on this watch. Could you please provide me with pictures of the actual watch you have for sale with the time set to 7:15, instead of the stock pictures from the Rolex website? Thanks We'll see, but I think we already pretty much know.......

I found a David Yurman diamond bracelet in Las Vegas at a theater and was able to keep it. Called the casino and reported it and they called 3 weeks later and said it was mine. My wife thought it was fake at first but it was real. It can happen.
