Dear rolex connaisseurs

I found this Submariner 116610LV for sale on an Italian Ebay account. And decided to buy it. I didn't pay yet, because after closer inspection I'm having genuine doubts about its authenticity.

How fake is it? Enlighten me, community.

The watch is real. Crystal may be aftermarket, can’t be sure from those pictures it may just be the lighting in the light box. Any pictures of that warranty card back and front? It’s newer style, should be older on that watch. Rolex ADs were swapping old style cards for new when they were first released in 2013 so it may be that or it may be a fake warranty card to make up a ‘full set’. Impossible to tell without further pictures.

Authenticating from pictures is a dangerous game, unless there’s glaring errors.

You realistically need a loupe and or having the back off to inspect the movement if in any doubt.

As is said time and again, buy the seller.

Movement shot would help. No red flags though

I’d strongly advise you to get some pictures of the warranty card first.

Something’s off here. Same pictures from 2016:

Nice spot. How did you do that?

Edit: cancel, I think I've figured it out.

I agree, no reason to think this watch is not genuine (forgetting the scam)

I have a 2010 model (G serial number) but it has a new style card and serial numbers match.
Never managed to work out why. It also of course has the LEC
