Submariner Authenticity
Came across this submariner advertised as circa 2000-2001 K Serial, I am not familiar with vintage but does the cyclops magnification look right?

Vintage is 2001?! Where does the time go!
Cyclops magnification does look a little less than I’d expect but it may just be a camera issue. Or it has a replaced crystal?

This dealer has mixed reputation and forum member has caught him selling fake watch before so wanted to look out for community in case this one turns out to be fake.
Here's another photo of the watch |

Also, probably in the wrong section too - this is technically still a contemporary model so you may get better responses in the other sub (excuse the pun) section.
The crystal is 100% aftermarket. The scary thing is the 16610 has been so well reproduced that you can really only rely on trusted dealers or if you have enough knowledge, physically inspect it before exchanging money. |

I guess I lost the point of this thread — you looking to buy the watch or just sort of double checking up on tpg? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I saw this watch posted for sale on their Instagram story and wanted to double check with this community if the watch looks off before I reveal who the seller is. Their listing page does not indicate aftermarket crystal. https://thetimepiecegentleman.com/co...ned-watch-only |
