I might say that it would be wise to get a more thorough inspection and better pics, but for this one it's pretty easily identifiable. Look at the case back, for instance.

All I see is a super low-res pic with lighting inconsistencies and shadows, which make it even more difficult to make any determinations, IMO. As mentioned, the dial and insert are obvious. Everything else, not so much (and there are tons of genuine 16610s out there that have been frankened into LVs). If I am missing something obvious, please do tell. |

Also, it's not a laundry-list being requested, just one detail. So, I would be curious why you think the poorly-lit, low-res pic of the case back is a dead giveaway. If you don't feel comfortable posting it here, please PM me. Thanks! |

6. Any casual allegation that a watch is a 'fake' should be justified otherwise the post may be removed. This should be achieved whilst not going into too much detail, good luck with that :) I can't see anything from that picture. What makes you think the watch is fake? |

You will see that some appear to have a steeper angle than others, with thinner or wider section widths. |

I received a message from him earlier that confirmed my suspicions.
He reached out to the seller (grey dealer) who verified that the watch was a 16610 that they swapped out the dial and bezel insert on, and that he should have noticed the word "custom" in the listing verbiage. |
