Probably going to be tough for the experts with just this one pic, but who knows they are experts after all ...

The colors on this photo look washed out. Numbers on the bezel look white, but this is a TT watch correct? :S

The seller has only 1 feedback for £72? Pass.

Have you heard the saying: you get what you pay for? There are millions of fake or not 100% original Rolex watches out there. If you want a Rolex, go to an Authorized Rolex Dealer. If you can't afford to purchase a Rolex, save up. Do you really want to spend thousands and always wonder if your watch is genuine?

True and 1000% agree not to buy from that eBayer - has 1 feedback but been on eBay since 2005.

As a TT sub it has wrong bezel insert and maybe wrong in many other ways.


This is what a TT Sub should look like.

agreed, quick pass. E-bay is the wrong place to shop and if you are asking "if this is real" you are not ready for e-bay..

I agree the same seller is also selling a brand new Daytona. He is selling 2 Rolex's and nothing else and 1 feedback. Looks very iffy.

If I were you I would bravely run away

x2...pass on this, you'll be glad you did...if your looking for a deal on a 16613, pay the extra cash and get something you wont have to worry about from a trusted seller right here...good luck

Photos indicates bezel insert Problem, the rehaut looks quite shiny that not good but as said the pictures are so poor that's my best guess with those photos and the seller. All I can say is your a braver man than me I would not take the risk.
