Hey can you guys help me tell if this is real, price is a tad low (16k) so just want to make sure first....

Jidonsu · 6 May 2019, 12:56 PM

That seems suspect. The only front shot is cut and pasted. All the other shots seem to indicate a midcase that’s too thick.

first shot, backround was removed for listing. The marketplace im looking does it to all listings....

Buy the seller. If you’re not sure about it then move on, at the end of the day it’s a lot of coin to risk it.

blada4life · 6 May 2019, 02:16 PM

looks ok to me. i think the one picture makes the case look thick but it may be just the angle, the others look fine. i also think the picture taker takes horrible shots. just horrible angles and not very informative photos.

ROLEX MAN · 6 May 2019, 02:21 PM

Any Warranty Card or other paper work?

Just to be on the safe go and get it Authenticated, I would!

RJRJRJ · 6 May 2019, 03:15 PM

That pricing is a big red flag imo. Have you seen the paperwork? Is it a 116520 with an aftermarket ceramic bezel fitted?

jerryguo · 6 May 2019, 03:33 PM

The case seems a bit too thick, clasp looks cheap. I would pass

101031-28 · 6 May 2019, 03:41 PM

WOW that is a great for a 500c but I would get it checked out by RSC before buying it, if at all possible.

Batmannr1 · 6 May 2019, 03:51 PM

Why is the white tag faced down?
No warranty card?
Better not to buy

Stevec14 · 6 May 2019, 04:06 PM

I don’t necessarily see the mid case issue. It looks fine to me and may just be the angle. The price does cause a little concern however. I’d want to see a photo of the other side of the swing tag and a photo of the matching serial.

If the seller was ok, take it to rsc for a service quote. That will tell you if real or not. It could well be a 116520 with aftermarket bezel at that price.

Of course if the baulk at that, walk away....

The price is already alarming.

Could be just that.

if its too good to be true....

faimag · 6 May 2019, 04:48 PM

Looks quite good to me, but the price is alarmingly low. Even for the 116520 with an aftermarket bezel, the green tag implies it's once of the very late 116520 with 5 y warranty (their last few months of production) and polished inner clasp (rare), and these also go for more than 16K. Unless it's missing the card?

Swiss Mad! · 6 May 2019, 05:48 PM

Impossible to tell if any watch is real or not from a few vague photographs.

Spending money like that with some ‘random’ on eBay without having seen the watch in person or being able to pick it up & inspect it up close is crazy & quite frankly foolish.

Either buy from an established bricks & mortar dealer who has a reputation to lose or from a trusted seller here on TRF - stay away from the bay..

Subdials are not right for a D500, and price suggests a fake rather than a 520 mod, so hard pass.

GGGMT · 6 May 2019, 10:43 PM

This’ll likely be a good education on lesson #1: “always buy the seller.”

I see no red flags with what I can see, but would need better photos (untouched) of dial and rehaut.
My feeling is "photos" are a genuine Rolex?

cht · 7 May 2019, 12:40 AM

Even if it IS indeed authentic, I wouldn't pay $16k for a watch with a clasp like that.

kohe321 · 7 May 2019, 02:27 AM

Afraid it could be a franken build. Be careful OP.

I'm a bit skeptical of the case.

nokaoi1 · 7 May 2019, 03:44 AM

just wanted to add that no card is included and is coming from a third party site that authenticates before sending to me...

77T · 7 May 2019, 04:31 AM

I can’t put my finger on anything with those pics.

Not sure what another comment meant about the dial because the head-on pic is so blurry. A legit dial looks the same.

But the silk screened text looks funky on the one OP posted when I blew it up.

Speedy123360 · 7 May 2019, 05:28 AM

Those pictures are stolen from one of my listings. First off you wont find a 116500 anywhere for 16k so no point in dreaming. The watch pictured in all pictures is very real but as I stated not his pictures.

Thanks
As I thought watch looks genuine from photos.
Photos are real, seller is the scam!

So, what "marketplace" did you see this listed on?
And what "third party" authentication service/site was it?

Glad Tristyn found this thread. Nice save.

LMG1212 · 7 May 2019, 01:00 PM

Wow, glad someone caught this. :( 16k in the hole wouldn't have been pretty!

What's the site? -so we can report/remove the scammer.
