Experts chime in. These look fakes, right?

Some guy posted these in a local Rolex FB-forum. I'm not a vintage Rolly experts but these look really suspect to me. Can you verify. If they're fakes (and I'm pretty sure they are) I want to get the troll booted away from the group). Or maybe the guy got scammed big time?

Thanks in advance.

A no 'expert expert', but can see that the bracelet of the GMT has plating on the small links, and the 24 hour hand is way too short on the Explorer...Both bezels don't feel right either on several points. I suspect the real experts will tear it to pieces!

Thanks.

Isn't the left side of the lug taller on both watches too?

Photos are terrible but GMT looks like aftermarket hans and no good shot oif the CGs

Explorer doesn't look good and CGs look bad and crwon looks aftermarket.

Really need better photos

Yeah there's definitely plating wearing off of the GMT Jubilee middle link. Good eye Rushwarp.

He also posted this Submariner 1680.

Maybe he got scammed? Otherwise I wouldn't care but I hope he's not trying to pass these on to someone as genuine Rolexes.

Yeah. Those 1680 thick crown guards are amazingly bad though. Maybe the faker was drunk?

Hi all! Newbie and first post. Not an expert and here mostly to learn, but I happen to be wearing a genuine 16710 coke purchased new at the dealer in 1998. The lens beveled edge is not supposed to magnify the dial. Just my two cents it looks fake.
