[AndrewHookway]

I also have the opportunity to purchase a 1680 Red sub, but is it fake ?

Would you say the numbers on the bezel look odd too?

Sorry I'm new to the forum so still finding my way, but very keen to get feedback on a potential red sub purchase

The oversized crown guards worry me......

Numbers on bezel looks ok

the serial number is in the right range, however this watch doesn't feel right to me. As I mentioned before the crown guards seem oversize also on the reverse side where the crown meets the case it doesn't resemble this shape '[' which I've seen on other Rolex's of this type.

Thanks, it would be interesting to know though what other than the crown guards show that it is a fake?

Best to study real watches in person if you want to educate yourself. You won't get all the details here of determining a fake.

Thanks I will steer well clear, but what worries me most is that it's being sold by a reputable rolex dealer
