Need some Advice

Hi there, looking to add a sub 16610 to my collection . I came across This offer from someone outside this forum.. The watch Looks like unworn and even has some stickers ..no papers.
Don't know if it's too good to be true, any thoughts from the experts?

Doesn't look that good to me, pass if price is too good.

What year is the watch?
Whenever I see a "perfect looking" hologram, I get concerned.

I would first request photos of the model and serial number between the lugs, then a decent photo of the dial.

I certainly would NOT buy anything based on those photos
Regards

Unless never worn, almost impossible to see that perfect looking unfaded ink on the hologram.

Like another said - buy the seller first.

Without a sharper pic of the dial side, nobody would be sure - but I'd pass. A stolen Rolex often has no box and papers. So, since its unusual for an unworn Sub to be sans box & papers, that's why I'd pass.
