GMT 1.jpgLooking at this GMT. I decided to pass on the Submariner No date and saw this GMT. Everything looks ok me but I am a novice at best. Seller is again willing to meet at local AD as before. Pictures are not great as I had to shrink them down to get them to upload on the site. Thanks again for the help.

Looks gorgeous and it is authentic in my personal opinion.
First thing I look at is the Cyclops which is perfectly centred then the date font and etc (not going to be listing every little trick)
But to be 100% sure better to check the serial number on the watch and the warranty card with the AD that was purchased from. I always buy from reputable sellers dealers and local preowned dealers who are reputable always be extra vigilant and always follow the precautions that are suggested on other threads.

All the Best

You shrunk them too much, No one can authenticate from those pictures. That could even be the no date sub you passed on for all we know.

You have confirmed it as authentic but you are not 100% sure of this.

You have handled 1000's of Rolex watches but not this one.

As for the date font? The picture is not good enough for an evaluation.

Without handling this watch and checking the movement you will never know.

Well as long as you can authenticate with a RSC or AD you are safe.

Don’t want to speak out of turn as you guys are way more knowledgeable than I am, but it looks pretty authentic to me compared to my GMT II. If it’s fake, it is the best I’ve ever seen.
