Does this look genuine to you?
Having a browse today and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Do you think it is genuine, look at the covering on the bracelet? PeterT |

Not sure about the watch. But when purchasing used the first rule is "buy the seller". So far I'm not "sold" by that seller.

I emailed the seller and the reply was that the watch was "believed" to be genuine.
Alert! |

My son bought a relica GMT II and it came with the plastic covering all of the bracelet.
I bought a genuine Sub LV straight from the safe of my dealer and it only had the plastic case protectors and pink plastic clasp protectors. No cylindrical plastic covering of the whole bracelet as in the pic. peterT |

Clearly fake. I guess. Who can tell over the internet with 3 blurry pics. Don't do it.
The seller doesn't impress me.

It´s a fake.
Wrong 12 o´clock index and Rolex never wrap the bracelet in plastic. I´m sure there are more, but thet is enough for me to run. Jocke

No, it is not likely to be genuine..
The markers are too large for a 16610, and the box is from several years back, but typical for fakes, Rolex does not put plastic sleeves on the bracelets and there are no protective stickers..... I'm sure that if the pictures were better we could find more...

Well done, who got rid of it??
I was worried for the poor souls who were bidding their hard earned cash for what I thought was a fake watch. I am glad you all agreed!! PeterT |
