Need some help authenticating this hulk. Thoughts

[Harry-57]

No Glidelock.

Was the 116610LV ever available without Glidelock?

[Shazbot302]

No expert here, but my initial thought is that it's probably legit. Can't say I'm all that confident since the super clones are so close to the real thing.



Can you post a closeups of the dial?

One of my very first thoughts, too! However I can't tell if it is in fact hidden underneath the clasp blade, which provides just enough coverage to conceal it.

Hulk always had Glidelock. If this one doesn’t then it’s 99% no bueno.

As the photos were taken with a potato its hard to tell. That said, all evidence points to it being fake or at least extremely suspect.

No one with a super desirable Rolex is going to be willing to negotiate that much of a price difference unless 1) they are desperate 2) its stolen(would explain the lack of box and papers) 3) Its fake(most likely) 4)they dont know the market on these.

I find it hard to believe that 4, considering its fairly easy to get a quote for this, they do know its worth more than they paid, so they arent stupid.
I find the desperate even harder to believe because in reality, if they were desperate to sell it quick to raise money, they would sell it at any number of known sellers(DavidSW and such). They would at least get most of their asking price, if legit.

It also just looks off in the potato photos. I would run far away

Looks fake to me. The seller may not know it’s fake, but I wouldn’t buy it.

Imagine how your mood would sink when you sent it to a Rolex Service Center and they
returned it refusing to work on it. Shop around with Trusted Sellers and pay a little more.
The additional cost divided by the years of peace of mind knowing it’s legit will be worth it.
You can save some money with a Trusted Seller getting one without box and papers if you’re
OK with that. Smart asking folks here, they know a lot more than me too.

I agree with many of the comments calling it a questionable watch. Additional observations: (a) the “X” of the “ROLEX” in the rehaut should exactly line up with the 25 minute mark; (b) the serial number in the rehaut should exactly start at the 26.5 minute mark and end exactly at the 33.5 minute mark and be centered; (c) the depth of the numbers and hash marks in the bezel insert appear to be deeper; and (d) I’m curious of the lume - is it bright, lasts long, is uniform, and in Chromalight?

[siempreko]

It depth of the print in the clasp is too deep, too sharp. Definitely not a genuine clasp.

[Helseth]

Doesnt look like mine. I'd stay away

[Laostuh]

As others have mentioned "T1G" is a well known super clone code. If you Google "T1G Rolex" you'll see.

Yes, my guess is he’s pretty negotiable on price Because the watch appears to be fake, which would be corroborated by his ridiculous statement that the box and papers were lost in the flood. Mine were eaten by locusts.

100% fake. The bracelet code and the cyclops are the biggest tells. Bezel sucks too.

Rehaut alignment doesn’t matter fwiw. I have a 2012 Yatchmaster that is off by about 1mm and cannot be fixed without risk of breaking the posts on the dial.

[jasaam]

fake for me !

Looks fake, no glide lock

I’ll agree you’re no expert since it’s clearly a fake. Look how terrible the bezel Font is and how bad the cyclops is, there’s no AR on it.
