What are your thoughts ?

I'm not sure what to think of this, but something does not look OK here.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=596916

It is a "BNIB" 116710LN - Old Box, Old Outer Box, Newer Paperwork Holder, New Bezel Protector and the bracelet clasp protector looks like a file tab sticker looks pink/ purple rather than the real deal reddish/orange. The clasp flip lock looks funky and much more.

I don't mean to be controversial but the two active listings from this user just do not seem OK and I'm hoping more people can have a look.

Useless Photos
BUT
From what I can see it may be genuine - needs better photos to decide

Ask moderators to ask for a "spot check" with a photo beside date ect?

Yes Sir !

House is all finished - And I actually decided to venture down in South America for a while. I've been working on expanding the biz down here. So far so good! Just a whole lot busier than what I am used to but chipping away at it.

I've been away but I do come once in a while to check on everyone.

I'll make a post soon to show off the house and the new sights.

Hope all is well!

Tim,

There's a very nice reminder/tribute which traveled 2500 miles with me. It is a small tribute to all of the wonderful people I've met on this forum.

I hope all is well my friend. Please accept a big hug.

Carlos

For $7,900 you can get one from a trusted grey dealer with great pics and great feedback.

why bother?

Brandon,

It's always wonderful to come back and reconnect with wonderful people. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Currently living it up in Colombia - Missing home of course, but working on some major projects.
