Real or Fake?
Would like y'alls opinion as well, but everything checks out to me.
Looking to purchase this 16610 and this seller agreed to open it up to show me! Link to photos: https://imgur.com/a/u959cvJ |

Reattached link: https://imgur.com/a/tFmqatM Is the microstella on all 3135 calibers or at a later year? I thought that was on the models with bleu hairspring for SubC models. Or it could be the photo was taken where the weights are hidden(spinning)? I will double check! |

No need to double check. Do yourself a great service. It’s a common watch. Buy from a real seller. This is a red flag already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve opened up several 3135s and they’ve all had microstella weights. The weights would be obvious in your picture if they were there and I also notice it has the adjustment arm that changes the length of the spring. Recommend against.

Looks good to me. There's motion blur on the free sprung balance wheel so the camera wouldn't be able to capture the weights. There's a huge visual difference between a Rolex balance wheel vs fakes.

I think I’ve done all I can do with my experience. Your choice but I would go elsewhere.

The watch is obviously authentic. Why are you guys hassling about the movement? It got the microstella weight, its just unrecognizable since it is still spinning. Bridge is correct, all engravings check out.
Dial is also correct for the v series. No scammer would „waste“ a good 3135 on a tc case and not model it after a 16610V. |
