What do you guys think about this GMT Fat Lady?

I'm pretty sure the band is not original (from a sub?) but what about the rest? Thanks!

I'm not a GMT expert - but the bracelet is FAKE.

The watch is 100% genuine and so is the band!!!! Also, the Fat Lady did come with the 93150 band as a option. The easiest way to tell if the watch came from Rolex with the Submariner band is the coding in the style number found at the top of the warranty paper. If it ends with 9315, the GMT came with the "Submariner-style" band with the wet suit extension.

Hope this helps you out. Here are a couple pics from the ebay auction.

I guess I just learned something. Never seen the link indendations on the clasp that "low" on the crown.

No problem Bill. I think it is just a shadow from the lighting, but I noticed that too when I looked at it.

Thanks for the help. So do you guys think I should make an offer on it? I am a little worried about the water spotting on the dial but I figure if I can get it cheap enough, I can afford to splurge on a service.

...case head and band = 100% GENUINE.

...additionally, I have NEVER seen a FAKE band with a CONCAVE thumbnail recess = GENUINE.
