Authenticate my watch please

Hi, just got a 116710 BLNR, please authenticate it for every last detail. If you need more/better pictures of specific parts do let me know.

Cheers!

Show us the face straight on with a clear view of the date and the inside of the opened clasp, please.

My take, is the watch is genuine.
A photo of the serial numbering (should be 8 scrambled numbers/letters) would also help confirm
Regards

Take it to an independent watch shop and have it authenticated. If you can afford the watch you can afford an appraisal.

Will upload requested pics in a bit - I've been reluctant to take a full on shot of the date because it necessarily requires me to show the serial number as well. I've figured out how to edit out the serial number and the pics should be on a bit.

Can confirm the serial number engraved on the rehaut is the same as the warranty card I received.

Let me know if you guys need anything else.

But all points and still does to genuine

I never ever get these threads. Why would anyone buy a $10,000 watch and then come here asking for it to be authenticated?


A bit a-s backwards to me.

I agree also. To the OP, where did you buy this watch ?

LOL... I think they just need that extra dose of independent authentication...

Thanks everyone who contributed constructively to the authentication of my watch. I'm glad I got it at a very good price and look forward to enjoying it over the next few years. Wishing everyone the chance to wear their own in good health!

Dude are you from Singapore? You can head to RSC to check it out. If might be the best way.

It's possible that scammers are testing their craft here to see if it passes the test before they go on a scampage...I'm not saying the OP is a scammer; just a general answer to your post.

Cheers

Highly possible - hence we should not give too many details when specifying "fakes"

This is the only good reason for this, otherwise I am with Tom. But why here if you have a RSC in your back yard as someone else mentioned??
