I heard somewhere that if the sides of the 16610 band are not polished like the side of the case then it is a fake. Is there any validity to this?
Thanks

Nope.

You'd rather question the source over the statement? Really?

youtube, genuine vs. fake comparison

YouTube? Really?

The sides of the band clasps are polished. I know, I have 3 subs and they are polished.

The sides of the links on 5 digit Subs are brushed. I have a 16613 TT Sub.
The sides of the 6 digit Subs such as my Hulk are mirror polished to match the sides of the case.
Hope this helps you.

Here you go. 16613. Sides of links are brushed.

This watch is real, FYI

Sub bracelet sides are satin (not polished, not brushed). However, it doesn't mean that the bracelet is fake. Most of the other Oyster bracelets are polished and they are completely interchangeable.

Yes i was playing around on youtube, and now i understand the 5 digit vs. the 6 digit, this is the video i found...poor guy bc his sub looks real and probably went into an ad and compared it to a hulk and thinks it fake...opinions???

I gave up after his comment at the 1min 50sec point. Clueless.

Watch in the video is a fake, so this thread gets moved.

FYI, don't knowingly post videos and such discussing fakes.
Surely you are aware it's against forum rules.

now that the OP has posted the "SOURCE"....yes, REALLY

Any band can be polished to satin or high polished finish regardless of its authenticity... the polish on a watch is not an end all be all indicator...
