Need your help - is this Rolex authentic?
Hi,
Just wondering if this watch is authentic? Do you see any sign of it being fake? I think it's real, but want to get a multiple opinions Thanks in advance, |

To my eye, something's amiss with that one.
Others will weigh in.

Thanks...
Hard to tell if it has been polished before. Can you guys tell from the picture? |

First the lens the pict was taken with seems to have a lot of lens distortion.
However here is my take on it: Ref 16610 / year 1992+ case N 455341 Looks pretty good to me. flip lock should be 93150 and it is on the picture. Seems authentic to me. It may have been a little polished(the crown guard seem it could be a little thicker, but it's really hard to tell with the lens distortion, obviously taken with a wide angle lens, maybe a phone. And no side pictures that are sharp enough. So inconclusive conclusion on the polishing. |

Thanks FabriceM . Based on pics, are you able to tell if it has been polished before? I was looking for the chamfers, but don't see any lines.

It's real. Or a very expensive fake.
Correct dial, real hands, matching insert. Lugs look thick, crown guards look good. I wouldn't say it's unpolished, but it doesn't look to be abused. Correct crown height from the look, crown is genuine. Photo is a bit distorted, possible replacement crystal. |

Looks authentic to me, but it definitely has been polished. The lugs are pretty polished to my eyes and some bracelet stretch. Good luck.

Given the additional images, I'm inclined to agree.
