116234 Real?
Only picture posted.
I was contacted by a watch buyer/dealer and they have this site called Watch Poster. They wanted me to list there. But, after skimming through some listing it seems like they are letting some fakes slip through the cracks. What does TRF think of this one? Also, the watch poster site. https://www.watchposter.com/ You can't see anything unless you sign up. But, I'm probably going to take down my listing and unsubscribe from the place. |

Serial F181599 is a known replica serial number.
Here's a TRF thread with another replica with the serial F181599. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=7616516 |

Here's a photo taken from one of the TRF trusted sellers.
Notice the differences in the coronet, hour markers, hands, dial workmanship, engraved rehaut workmanship, and fluted bezel. |

Hi Adam, I respect your expertise and contributions. Because my first post was a bit rushed, the second post was for completeness (and unrelated to your post). Chris

The bezel and rehaut alone are enough to verify this as a fake...

These guys don't seem bothered by the fact that fakes are being listed there. I sent emails, talked on the phone, and report via the site. Watches are still showing up there. Don't want to be affiliated with them anymore. Ugh.
