The hole in the cannon pinion.also the dial print and marker surrounds, and uneven hands colour minute hand has white lume not creamy.also the seconds hand is too short it should reach the chapter ring .but the big hole in the cannon pinion makes it obvious.the mid hump of the end link is too round as well

Mine has a hole like that, and it came from an AD and was regulated by the RSC. As for the seconds hand, I think it is the angle of the watch.

I'll be the judge of that. If you're going to call someone out for posting a fake, it needs to be sorted out.

RSC replaced the lume dot and William Barthman (an AD quoted me $85 to replace the bezel) I doubt that a RSC watchmaker would have touched a fake. Anyway, sending a few more pics, I bought it from a trusted seller.

Expat, do you recommend bringing it again for the sole purpose to check the movement and authenticity?

Thank you-

That is the pearl RSC replace it with, they did it as a favor and did not replace the bezel. I know is missing the cup, but beggars can't be choosers. Here is an older pic before the lume dot fell.

It's 100 percent fake I'm afraid evwn the inside edge of the insert is round it should be flat.the hands should have creamy lume. But I'll say no more and let you sort it out

Took the watch to an AD William Barthman in NYC and the watchmaker inspected it, and said is all good. I'm not sure if variations you see are from one year to another of production. However, I doubt 2 watchmakers 1 from RSC and another from a Rolex/Tudor AD will not immediately recognized a fake. Thank you for your observations but I would advise next time be 100% sure before posting something in a public forum.
Here is a bit of candy for the eye, while waiting.
Blue Pelagos is awesome by the way!

I have had a closer look at this photo you are commenting on and can't see a problem. The lume comment is invalid because the BB lume can look from creamy to white, depending on lighting conditions. He has had two watchmakers look at it, one at the RSC. To call this "100 percent fake" is rash at best, especially from someone who was recently worried about the loose fit on the endlinks on their own BB.

Three previous threads that you have started about the Black Bay have been locked, let's not close this one, too.

Did the watch come with a complete kit, box and papers? I do not think an AD would be able to tell the difference.

Looks fine to me except that detail in the center. If I owned one I would definitely take it to a third dealer to have it checked

In comparison to mine it looks fine. I believe it to be the angle of the shot. Hands stack is clearer on the most recent images and step from small to big as mentioned.

So after going to an AD yesterday, and still getting an "is 100 percent fake" from live1 based on a picture and no real backup or expertise on Rolex/Tudor watches. I went to RSC NYC today filled out the form and explained authenticity concerns and interest in purchasing new spring bars to the customer service rep (Shawn). After 45minutes He came back and said "Oscar here are some free spring bars for you, and the watch is authentic; we would never touch a fake watch"

So again before making comments I would advise:
1-have enough back up and knowledge of what you are talking about.
2-even if it is a controversial comment, be mindful on how the message is delivered.

This has been somewhat uncomfortable for me, but that's fine.
As Adam (Old Expat Beast) said in his last comment let's keep this thread going!

Also, again what great service provided by RSC NYC.

And you are 100% wrong and owe him an apology. Stick to things you actually know about perhaps and do us all a favor before you cause someone so much unneeded grief.
