Please help to authentic this Rolex 1161710BLNR

[LeoSmith]

I am the first time Rolex buyer so please help me to identify if this Rolex is fake or not. Especially, the authentic card only contains serial number and model, NO bracelet number and dial? Seller said he got this one outside the U.S. Not sure.
If any of you have knowledge about this, please help! Thank you.

Can you get some better pictures of that bracelet? Something is very wrong there.

The numbers on the back and pics of the clasp open would help

[LeoSmith]

Thank you !

The bezel looks off, can you center it ?

[Cryten]

Where did the pictures come from? The third picture in the original post isn't the same watch. That's what threw me with the bracelet.

Right, third picture appears to be a 5 digit ref case.

The pictures came from the seller. I try to ask him to take the better picture but he said he left the office and not around computer. He records for me a video but I can't upload it on here.
He did offer me 7800 for this Batman though. Is it too good to be true?

I c. Did you notice anything about the authentic card? The card only show the serial and model number. I did not see the bracelet reference and dial. Sellers said he got the watch from outside the U.S.

It looks off. Proceed with caution.

Noticed too! The connecting links should be solid links!

I have not make up my mind yet! Seller give a price of seventy-six hundred but its seem too good to be true right ?

[Aquahallic]

If you're already having to question the seller and or the watch...move on!

[Chewbacca]

something tells me the asking price is really low compared to others, since there's several from less risky sellers still available.

i'd pass.

Great pick-up. That's the give away.

I'd pass.

[CaveDweller]

I'm sure there should be something under the (winding) crown that's missing .....

I am not an watch expert. But I happened to own a BLNR and wearing it today. I noticed the case back in your picture is super thick and different. Mine watch (which is 100% authentic, bought from a dealer) shows the case back having the serrations on top then tapper down. Your 3rd picture is the exact opposite.

You haven't made up your mind? Even after all these people told you that's it's not real?

Walk away fast! Deceptive pics, bad pics, pics not all of the same watch, don't get SCAMMED! Price is definitely too low for this watch, even used.

[Trazor]

There is a picture of a different watch in there.....

Why aren't you running away..........

[GradyPhilpott]

Walk.

[epc2]

Two more red flags:

1-First pic on post #3 looks at the font of the "r" and "s" on his name and compare it to the last pic you posted , totally different.

2-Look how he wrote the date on the pic posted on post#3 , day /mm/yy instead of mm/day/yy, so looks like somebody from out of US trying to scam you.

Stay away.

Thank you guys for all your advise! I try to report on eBay but he already removed it. Lots of scam are out there. This makes me afraid to buy a Rolex from grey-market.

Nothing wrong with the grey market.

Buy the seller first
