Can't see any engraving in the REHAUT and the Cyclops magnification looks poor?
Can you post pics of the case back? |

The logo on the crown sits perfectly so it must be real!
Better pictures would help...

For me it looks okay but it's hard to see if you only have pics. How does it feel ? Does it feel solid ? The weight ? Did you check the serial number on the watch and the papers ? If a dealer asks 200, I think it's a stupid dealer. They should do it for free, you might become a good client in the future. On the other hand, if you're not sure .... pay the 200, we're talking about a 6K watch. you could loose a lot more than 200

The watch is good. No rehaut engraving with an "F".

Looks legit by the photos but the only way to be 100% sure is to open the back.

I have an early F with Mark1 dial much like this, the swiss made wide (5 seconds span), oval O, R in oyster under the middle of the R in Rolex. The crown on the crystal is a good indication the fakes, even the highest quality ones have them too visible. The real thing you only see with magnification and directed light raking across. Taking the band off will help a little to see the engravings on the case. Taking the back off will get you as certain as can be! Here is a good resource for the 50th LV http://www.network54.com/Forum/20759...Vert%29+-+The+ I hope that helps

The bezel color looks wrong - just as it did the other time you asked about this watch.

If you even have to ask, I would steer clear. Stick with an AD or TRF trusted seller. my 2 cents

It looks just like my LV I would say your good. Also if you look closely you can see the crown in the crystal ever so feintly, too vivid and it's a fake, or not at all it's a fake. As far as bezel colors go, they changed during LV production and like all bezels they fade and turn colors taking on different hues I wouldn't buy or not buy based on that alone. An rsc can replace a bezel tomorrow for you and the color will look totally different I'm sure.
Furthermore the serial starting with an F7 should be a Mark 2 dial, and this does appear to be a mark two with the pointed 4 on the "40" bezel, the R in Oyster lines up between the feet of the R in Rolex, and the Swiss Made goes across 5 second markers or ticks. I would say it is 95% legit, the movement is the only question that no one can answer unless you get the watch opened up; and for that you usually have to buy the seller. |

What about the crown above the L....I know it is supposed to be directly above the L, but this looks like the middle of the crown is perfectly centered above the beginning side of the L....which when I look at real subs that is not the case. Curious on others thoughts about this? Looks like a pretty good fake to me, but just not completely right...

looks fine to me
Check the screws on the end links are the heads polished or are they brushed ? you want them to be brushed many fakes have them polished |

Looks perfect for me! (and i've got one). Go to rsc and change all gaskets after purchase, just to be sure it is waterproof. Then you'll be really sure. By!

The crown guards look good and the crown is offset from the case nicely. It looks good.

Looks 100% genuine. It has no identifiers found on the counterfeit LV's.

the insert isn't period correct, it should be a flat 4

Crown guards concern me a bit as some franken watches have trimmed CGs and they look very slim. Pop the caaeback. It's the only way to tell anymore.
