Im very inexpert, but this watch does look like a fake for me. What do you think?

Hard to say. The photos are difficult to distinguish whether or not it's real or fake. Sorry.

Ed Rooney · 18 November 2007, 10:56 AM

Bad fake.

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 November 2007, 10:57 AM

Yes, that is a fake:

To name the most obvious signs on this one:

Rim of the dial markers are too thick.
Dial font is too silver coloured and printed, not painted.

Bingo. The borders of the indices are too thick, however the newer replicas have fixed that problem.

The cyclops looks crooked and the endlinks don't line up well.

karmatp · 18 November 2007, 11:27 AM

I don't speak or read the language but someone should report it to fleabay. We need to start reporting all these fakes, some poor dude is going to get screwed and if we can all help prevent it ..we should.

Robb · 18 November 2007, 11:28 AM

The clasp is also wrong. This one has the larger clasp like the one that comes on the sub!

Attila · 18 November 2007, 11:40 AM

Is the sweep second hand too short as well?

knoffie · 18 November 2007, 12:10 PM

you are joking aren't you??? A possible fake? You coulds pot that as a fake from 20 feet away! Its just werong. the colour of the bezel is wrong. The crown guards are wrong. its looks so tinny it screams $20.00
Dont waste your time

Well, in addition to whats already been said the bezel insert is terrible. Actually there's nothing right about the whole thing LOL!

dweller · 18 November 2007, 01:00 PM

pretty cool that's it's stamped as a 16700 with a 16710 dial!

Complete garbage..

GMTIIwanted · 18 November 2007, 01:01 PM

The word "date" on a real one is left justified to the right edge of the X in Rolex. On this one the fonts are all wrong.

A 16700 with SEL bracelet/no holes as well..yep most def. a sketchy deal.

Antonio · 18 November 2007, 01:33 PM

I have emailed the seller about it, regarding and telling him my first opinions a few. I got an email from him (he got the watch as a gift without papers

), and he told me that he didnt know all those things, and he is going to remove the auction

mikey · 18 November 2007, 01:34 PM

fake

marshallr47 · 18 November 2007, 04:15 PM

Boy, that's scary. I own a GMT II and didn't know these things. I need to pay more attention. Thanks guys for pointing things out.

Gaijin · 18 November 2007, 05:18 PM

I love how they always attatch a tag to it to make it look half ass authentic. Sadly some people probably see the tag and fall for it.
