Check it out carefully looks like cropped stolen photos, beginners usually don't take photos like that.

well for starters i don't think that there is a replica or a fake Sky Dweller floating out there (yet).
if you're asking if the watch is real? it is... the big question is....why is it "cheap"? i know that the yellow gold goes for around 40k, and check the client number...780 is Brazil...

I didn't know Rolex changed their boxing for the Sky-Dweller.. Of course I haven't purchased a watch in a few months.... Maybe the boxing is different now...

Still kind of odd on why it's so cheap... the seller says he's not stupid... Problem is I think he is if he's willing to sell at that price point. Well any way it will be interesting to hear about the update on this!

GoodLucK !

I think it is a scam or stolen or both.

Why would someone purchase this new and sell it for a stupidly low price?

Don't waste your time

Spot on! Seller ask for a $5500 deposit and for me to fly him to NYC to do the deal after I insisted flying down to him.

Thanks for all the advice!

Cheers
