Help Newbie! Sea Dweller - Black - Gas Escape 11600

I found a 7/18 Sea Dweller Black for sale for $9,500. Box, purchase receipt, paperwork included. Is this a good deal? See pics below. Thank you!

I would gave it checked at rolex- i dont like the clasp opening, the hollowing seems too narrow and the hands dont have that white gold shine to them but that might just be bad pictures

We can not tell really any thing about that watch from those photos.

EDIT/ADDITION
What is the correct model number - not 11600 - I think its a 116660 - Deep-Sea??
This is a DEEP-SEA (12,800ft) - the HE valve should NOT be dark (like back case), the HE valve on DEEP-SEA is NOT titanium (like back case), its 914L steel like case!


Box and papers just dont look right to me. Get better photos and the serial number

Is it just me or do the end links protrude a tad more than usual?

OP's question is "is this a good deal?" If the watch is real, yes it's a very good deal. I don't see issues with the box, and there's not a lot showing on the paperwork. He's not really asking whether it's fake or not either.

As I say, that ALL looks good - I also ran a counterfeit check on that serial number - ALL GOOD
But that does not mean its not a scam, some sellers steal the photos - they do NOT even own the watch.
You have to ALSO investigate the seller.
From what you sent me, I think its a shop (bricks and mortar)
Call them for a chat - ask for a photo with todays newspaper and your name on it.

Coogle the shop address, Google the owners name!
Check return policy??

Check EVERYTHING
