Help, real or fake

please help, i am looking to buy my first Rolex, a second hand sub v serial, i am a little bit apprehensive as it is a lot of money and on eBay. i am to far away from a dealer to check it out. i need advice on what to look for in a genuine 2010 v in black. are they all ceramic? This link is it, what do you guys think?

Welcome to the Forum Tim.

The 16610 is the discontinued model not the new 116610 ceramic bezel model with the bigger case, maxi dial and specced up bracelet etc.

Seller has good feedback on similar items.

Have a browse through the Forum's for sale section and read up on what to look for.

We have some good eyes on the Forum that don't miss a thing.

X2, also look for this thread in the way hour section as I'm sure it will be moved soon.

The watch looks authentic enough on the picture but I don't think it is at a bargain price .

Watch looks good. I still don´t know why people selling a watch of this price show only one so-so quality photo.

Crappy pic. A high percentage of eBay Mobile postings result in fraud - no saying this one is.

Price too high. I would pass.

I would never buy off ebay when the forum has excellent sellers.
