Can anyone tell me if this is real?

Hey there, was hoping for some input on this YMII. Without opening the case back, does this look legit?

Looks terrible.....and all wrong!

The 116689 is a white gold YMII. The one you've pictured is as fake as $3 bill!

Let's not be too quick here. You should open the case back and have a look. I see potential.




























Then with proper eye protection (safety first) smash it with a hammer.

Good way to tell, the pointer on the countdown hand is always too small on the reps, and the upper portion of the hour hand you can see through on a gen

You mean you can see through the middle part of the minute hand
Unfortunately today this is not sufficient to detect a rep...

There are experts here. I am not one of them. I have had several Rolex in the past that we're purchased from members here, so I am comfortable buying them. But judging authenticity? Nope. Figured this was the best place to come for answers..that's why we're here right?
