Normally I look for more than four photos when watch shopping. Based on the four photos of this GMT 16710, that watch appears relatively nice, but I would get more photos to include the inner case back, movement. serial number and photos from between the lugs.

These 5-digit references are still readily available, so I tend to think that asking price might also be an important part of the equation. As well as any accessories included.

As has been suggested here countless times, buy the seller and the quality of the goods will follow.

Based on what you are showing, I think the watch looks legit, but no way purchase unless I know the seller. Even then, I’d want to see the watch, either in person or in better pics. Does it come full set? Have you matched serial numbers? Is bezel insert legit? Dial - nothing can be determined based on first blurry pic.

Of I got those pics from Tony at JustRolexes, I’d ask if it’s all original and then about band stretch. Then, I’d buy it if the price were right, but only because I trust him implicitly. Sane for other trusted sellers on TRF

Nothing is off. Insert is legit, dial is legit, case is legit. Nice watch
