Seems unlikely. Rolex usually has a basel preview event in major metros first.

australia has about as many watches as the UK... so im going to say no. Someone modified a WG BLRO with a jubilee is my guess.

No, these pictures show the GMT has the crown between Swiss made on the dial signifying the new movement.

That 2nd pic is from “ablogtowatch.” That ugly shirt gives it away. So I would assume that sale is a scam.

Definitely fake. Rolex wouldn't release the watches this quickly.
