Fake GMTII?

Hi everybody, I found this GMT in a pawn shop. I couldn't get any better pictures of it, but do you see anything that screams "FAKE!"?
I'm so new to this, I'm not taking any chances. Oh and the serial number is V754008

I can't really tell from those pictures. The box (bottom pic) says 18K... If that is referring to 18K gold, then there may be a problem. The watch pictured is a 116710LN ALL stainless steel Rolex. So, if it's being sold as an 18K gold watch, then there is certainly a problem.

Run quickly... There are too many hits if you google the serial #.

The hand stack looks weird. I would stay far away.

Rehaut engraving is not correctly aligned, hand stack looks wrong (GMT hand is supposed to be place between the hour and minute hands, rings around minute markers are to wide, etc....in other words " stay away from it"

Wow yeah pretty crazy. That serial number is all over the replica watch forums. I read one post where a guy was looking at a GMT on ebay with this serial number and one guy responded saying that's the same serial number of the replica on his wrist.

Man once a genuine serial number gets out the counterfeiter's slap it on every watch they can. LOL

Plenty of off looking things about this watch. I haven't googled the S/N, I'll take you gent's word. Run, but inform the guy behind the counter of your findings. You may save another poor soul from shelling for this piece of scrap metal.

Crazy stuff.
