Possibly fake Rolex submariner

Hey guys, I’m new to this and want you guys to check this Rolex submariner out to see if it’s fake or not. It’s a 16610 and weighs 136 grams. It has both reference and serial numbers on the inner case where the bracelet clips in and has the little etched crown. I left an attached file is a photo of the watch. Thank you.

Take it a Rolex service center or alternatively an AD with a certified Rolex watchmaker for best answers

Like Kieselguhr says, take it to a RSC and let them check it out. From pictures you can only pick out the obvious fakes. It says nothing about the movement. Ask for an service estimate at a RSC and see what they say.

How about taking pics with a better camera than an early 2000s flip phone? Jeesh

Difficult to see with that one pic. Much easier to see with multiple angle pics that are closer up.

Nothing, I mean nothing correct about it. We can’t discuss the reasons here in the forum. Trust us.

Absolutely no need to have this checked by third party or Rolex.
