Is my 116010LN real?

Telling if a watch is fake is getting very hard these days without opening the back. For example. *Also* this picture is from the internet, not mine!

Looks real. Rehault engravings, scallops in the bezel, bezel platinum fillings in the numbers and SEL which are weakest points of "super fakes" look good to me.

Not sure why this is still open for debate? OP's watch is absolutely 100% authentic Rolex. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their eyes testing.

I have the exact same watch. If that is fake I’ll have to re-evaluate my entire life... I might even question my wife as to her identity tonight.

Seriously if fakes are that spot on now we’d probably be all better of at an AD forever.

The 116610 had several dial variations over the years so unless you know the dial changes / typography

A good starting point would be to open the case back - you can determine an ETA substitute movement or a superclone 3135 movement in 3 seconds. If the movement is genuine then proceed to inspect the rehaut engraving at macro distances - the replica 116610 can never seem to get the rehaut engravings perfected (but be aware that genuine Rolex's rehaut engraving font, e.g. double line and single line etc, has changed over the years)

This watch looks sketchy at best, but it could be the photo.

It doesn't look right to me.

Wait for others to offer their opinions and it would be better if you opened your own thread.

An authentication by an AD with a watchmaker on staff would be best, since you've already shelled out the money.

Yea I agree, the bezel insert looks very weird, and the dial looks weird as well.

Take it to a local jeweler and have them pop the case back and take a picture then post it to be 100% sure, but I’m going to go with fake on this one as well the whole watch looks off.
