Looks real but...

Hi guys,

What do you think of that 16710 Z serie with 3186? Pictures are not great... it looks ok but I thought that BLRO was pepsi insert and not coke. The country code 888 (HK) refrains me from pulling the trigger.

Any thoughts?

Coke is not original to the watch indeed, but I see no problem if it's genuine Rolex (a good point for negotiating the price though). Serial appears to be correct for 3186 movement with "error" stick dial. Order Pepsi insert from Rolex AD and you're all set.

The only problem is if that watch actaully shows up in the mail or just a rock or a bad fake..

Just make sure the seller is reputable. I've purchased Rolex here in US that had country code from Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Bahamas, Austria...etc. Not sure why 888 country code concerns you? Hong Kong was one of the biggest Rolex market for years.

888 is for sure HK code. Nothing wrong with HK code, just that in EU we are (wrongly) suspicious with watches coming from Asia.
