Icon20 TT GMT-II-C on eBay?

Hello TRF Members,

What I've learned here since November is precious information that has turned into great knowledge of watches and such. I'm not that great at authenticating a GMT-II. So if it's real don't be too harsh. But this one from what I've read on the Forum smells. Look at the noticable LEC on the lower pictures. And the Green Rolex sticker on the back?? Never seen a Green Sticker on the new ones. What do you TRF Members think?

I think it's real. Plus this is not some random seller but an actual store located in Philadelphia. That's not to say they are above selling a fake or something misrepresented I have no idea of their reputation.

I'm no expert and I can only spot the most obvious fake so I admit I just don't know for sure but I think the LEC shows maybe because there is a light source from above.

Yes for sure. I think I was being a little hard on the ad on eBay.

Never seen a ceramic GMT with the green sticker on case back.

It's an early Z-Serial and TT came out a year prior to SS and green sticker was still being used in that period of time.

If green sticker is on a SS model then it's really strange.
