Am I right, that this looks like fake? I assume because no box and papers, number 4 font doesn't look right, 12 o clock marker is too close to the logo, end links don't sit properly (bracelet not original), bezel doesn't align with 12 o clock, dial text is bit too crammed (dial doesn't "breathe"), font seems off and over all finish looks bit too shiny. Also if it's a vintage piece, lume is too white, I try to educate myself on these (not buying, just for training my eye).  |

I’m no expert on these, but aren’t the lume plots supposed to be in metal framed pots? The crown guard looks wrong to me, and the dial fonts and spacing are also suspect. Here’s a legit 16710 for sale: www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=914340You have to create an account to see the photos. Or just go to bob’s watches and look for a 16710 GMT Master II for more good reference photos. |

Good points!
Also reflecting ring is missing the text.

The quality of the hands is awful. The bracelet is awful Fake fake fake I agree. Hands have that cheap shiny look and have a bulging chrome effect. Bracelet seems unfinished, doesn't fit and the end links don't fit the look. |

Appears to be a ref 1675 (24 hour hand on bottom of hand-stack) with some service and/or aftermarket parts.

Not a real Rolex, might be a fun watch to wear to your AD...

Like Seikos - Rolexes aren't perfect either so one that could have a feature or three that doesn't look right could still be legit.

If you get it on consignment and it comes with a money back guarantee OK.
If you have to pay first I would pass.
