Is this 116713LN authentic?
Can you guys take a look at these photos and let me know if this is authentic. Side note, the bezel does not line up with the 12 o'clock marker. Also, besides NYC RSC, are there any ADs in NJ that can authenticate the watch? Thanks.

No bells go off for me based on its outward appearance.

Honestly, it looks pretty good to me based on the pics. If it’s a fake, it’s a really good one.

The triangle often times does not line up perfectly.
Look for the crown etching at the 6 o'clock position on the crystal. On fakes that crown is there but it's not the inconspicuous security feature that it's intended to be. Also, an ad can't tell you if is a watch is authentic nor would you want them to. Some can tell you if a serial number was purchased from their ad. But most employees who work at ads don't have the expertise to authenticate a watch. In fact, I trust my knowledge of Rolex' more that I do anyone at most ads. But the watch doesn't stand out from those pics. The only thing that I would question is the inner clasp "Rolex" design. I thought the darkened script was on the textured inner clasp. That one looks smooth. I thought the text was a white script. Could be wrong though. Maybe someone with a 116713ln can chime in. |

Nice one.
Looks just like mine and all good to me. The lighting has affected the script reflection. To me the best confirmation us the NR cyclop and the date wheel. And the hand stack of course.

The only way you can be sure is to see the movement. We all know this. Fakes are getting so good.

Looks exactly like the real one I used to have.
If the bezel rotates smoothly in 2.5min clicks and the hour jumps when you adjust it at the 2nd crown pull position, it's leaning towards genuine. Sent from my HTC_2Q4D100 using Tapatalk |

That is terrifying.
The movement has the jumping hour and date. Thanks guys, I’ll still have Rolex RSC in NYC check it out when I get the chance to be 100% certain. |

Sure. I've seen clone 3135 movements, with added parts converting it to 3186, placed into a "aftermarket" case. |
