Fake 116610 on ebay?

It's a fake to me. Your opinion?

Kinda hard to tell from the less that ideal photos. Minute hand has the right reach/width and the lume looks good. The cyclops appearance can vary substantially dependant on Photo Angle & Vertex Distance.

Best to temper opinions with stated uncertainty unless you are sure.
However, If you are sure, Let 'Er Rip!
There are Members & Moderators here on TRF that know these things Inside And Out.
I personally like to wait for them to chime in and then I learn something.

Well...I asked if anyone agreed with several question marks. That's my way of stating my uncertainty The proportion of the width of the lume in relation to the width of the rest of the second hand still looks off to me, but could be the lighting or the angle. How's that? I'm still learning.

You did fine. I'm still learning too! Crappy Photos AND Crappy Lighting make it tough even for the experts here (I'm Not One...Yet).

See what you did? Now I went looking at other 116610s from trusted sellers And Now I Agree With You About The Minute Hand Lume! Yes, I'm STILL Learning..... ;-)

If unsure best to not make a claim to ebay.
Best to post here - its unfair for a genuine watch and seller to get taken down on an incorrect claim

Unless we (I) am 100% sure I dont report

Watch is fake - rehaut, dial print, dial coronet, date window, lume markers, among other things. I know which replica factory made this turd but I wont post here.

Watch comes with box and no card, seller with very little feedback. All the tell-tale signs and it still blows my mind people buy rolex watches with no warranty cards from randoms on eBay.
