Real or Fake 126610LV?

Can anyone please help try to verify authenticity by this photo?

Thanks!

Looks legit except for the “0” on the bezel at “40” It should not have any imperfections unless it’s an optical illusion.

Appreciate the feedback. Anyone else see anything suspicious about this picture?

May just be the quality of the pic, but i see a couple of things that concern me. Higher res photos and a couple of different angles would be helpful. This could very well be a super - replica.

Thanks. I had some concerns too -- The first "I' in Officially and Certified seem a bit off. What did you notice?

First question: is the price too good to be true?

Can’t see why you would be so suspicious otherwise. Is it a reputable seller?

Could be the picture but I just don't like the look of the alignment of text in

Comparing your LV to mine purchased from an AD, the I's in your picture look okay. The 0 in 40 has a flaw and the C in Officially looks off. The print just doesn't look quite right, but hard to really tell from the photo. I'd need more higher resolution pictures. Good luck.

Purchased my 126610lv at the AD.

Notice the luminescent hour markers have no specs and don't look dirty in my picture.

The real markers are white gold and in your picture, the color is not the same.

The 1st "I" in certified is smaller in your picture.

Conclusion: proceed with caution.

Is the watch being advertised on the forums?

Looks good to me and like mine from AD. But no need to play with fire — just buy from a reputable seller with many reviews which I’m betting this is not, which is why you have concerns. There’s no “deals” to be had; just risk

Looks legit to my eye. Complete set or watch only?

Thanks all. While this seller does have plenty of positive feedback on TRF, I am going to pass based feedback addressing many of the concerns I noticed.

Thanks all. This is offered with a full set from a seller with all positive feedback on TRF. But you all pointed out many of the same things that already concerned me, so I’m probably going to pass. I appreciate the group feedback.

There are at least 2 of these for sale on this site right now. Both that I saw are brand-new, never worn

I’ve got 2 12 series Subs, both from my A D, and I don’t see the flags.

What I do see is not the best picture in the world. Especially the dial print. A few pics in my phone look the same but when I take the time to hi res them they look fine.

Idk. I’m definitely no expert

I have also a 124060 from the ad, and what I did not notice the 1st time in my comments and everyone else who has made a comment are the color of the Mercedes hands, center pin and sweep second which in op picture look black. They should be silver color.
