16800 real or fake?

Hey guys sorry for the bad images but this is all the seller has given me until i can take my own. I am not familiar with the 16800 so I was hoping I could get some insight from you guys. A few things look strange to me off the jump, the crown guards look small and pointy….at the 6 O’clock marker on the dial where it reads swiss and T<25 should that be under the marker not on each side of the 6 O’clock marker… also the crown and bezel just look funny. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

16800% fake!
Everything is wrong with this watch, including the band.
Also, this thread should be move to the Watchout section.

Thanks that’s what I figured but like I said, I do not know much about the 16800 didnt want to jump to conclusions... just looking for opinions.. I will move the thread to watch out section after a few more people view it the seller is located in Louisiana and has no association with the forum but just in case watch out!!!!

I moved it here. As stated it wouldn't even serve as a bad example.
