BLNR - Real or Fake
My wife's coworker just picked up a BLNR online, but something doesn't look right. What are your guys' thoughts? Is it legit?

The blend is rather sharpe from blue to black the blend is better on the original. I have seen fake ones like this. That's a big giveaway straight off.
Also are the numbers etc white? Or just the photo. |

Cyclops is very off. Date appears to be too small.

The Batman is fake. The date wheel is completely the wrong font the paint on the bezel at the cut off 18 is a straight line, not like what it is. Also a real Rolex GMT hand stack for modern GMT's are hour hand then GMT hand then min hand then seconds. That one you see there is GMT hand then hour hand then minute hand then seconds. So fake.

A very bad fake. You didn't mention if he thinks it's real or not.

The MUL is fake too. The SEL fitment is way off. Never seen so many scratches on a sapphire crystal. The indy's don't meet the inside ring. So she is probably just buying fakes and knows it.

Thanks for the responses guys. I think he's afraid that it's not real and he's taking it to get checked out at an AD tomorrow. I guess he's in for some bad news...

The bracelet alone makes me cringe. BTW, you may want to tell your friend 'bout the Milgauss...

Unless they recently changed the bezel numbers from platinum to white, I'd say that...plus the awful date font and cyclops are the most glaring problems.....

Instant give-away is the font of the date and the magnification.
Upon closer inspection: Depth and colour of the numbers on the bezel colour of the blue cerachrom (should be more dark in the light the photo was taken) the blue colouring of the GMT-hand is off, too short, not up to the arrow the steel and PCLs don't look/have the shine of Rolex 904L steel the white 'Luminova' looks off as well. Hope the buyer didn't pay thousands of dollars. |

That is what caught my eye, then the date font.

Both watches in photo are fake. Look at the lume on the Mil.
