The other thing I noticed and gave me a red flag was the case back stamp, where I looked at about 15-20 1655 across chrono24, HQmilton and tropical watches, non of them has the Font for the "M" where the inner "V" touches the floor like the 2 sides of the "M". The "O" is a lot rounder, and the most significant is the "X" where Rolex font is 2 straight line crossing, where the "X" on this is almost )(.

$27k marked down to $16k.. if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Ive never heard of the seller to be honest. Their setup with accepting Paypal and Venmo only would concern me. Probably an eBay seller who has their own site is my guess.
