Saki wrote he can not open the case by himself.
I think, the caseback looks bulky, and not common for a 16750.

So I managed to open the GMT. Thanks to the advice with the squash ball.
Here are the pictures of caseback and movement.

Maybe you can just add BBCode links in your post so people don't have to constantly click on your links.

If you click on the photo in Imgur, you will have an option to copy various types of links. Choose the BBCode link instead of the image link, and the image will show up directly in the thread. Much more convenient for readers.

Thank you so much Dan. Imgur does not support this on my iPhone. I will try it by hand.

Sorry, it doesn’t work :(

I also wanted to post the other watch I bought from the same person. But understandably, I'm sure no one wants to click on the links.
Such a nuisance.

Thank you all anyway.

Anyway, here are the pictures of the other GMT, if anyone wants to take the trouble: https://imgur.com/a/RcbwLks

I would be extra careful here, of course, but the pictures I see look nice.
Later bezel, blueback. But matching folded bracelet, MKI dial looks good.
The engravings are hard to see, but correspond to typeface A from Xeramics post in VRF I think.

ok I think this thread has served its purpose... OP needs to send the watch into Rolex to get final verdict.

Lets stop adding unnecessary "hope". We have also spend enough time providing our non-professional advice, as have the guys on VRF.

Hello Saki. One last post! I took a close look at the 16750 dial and compared it. The dial is also fake! Look at the position of the M of "Master" to the writing below. It absolutely does not fit. Sorry

hey mods,

@ HL65

do we archive images by chance?

looks like OP is trying to delete traces of the watch now that others have determined the case and dial are likely fake. Not sure what the forum rules are on this.

I will check VRF and see if they hold any caches files of the watch pics (looks like OP's thread there is already deleted).

For any members who have opened the file and might have saved pics / or its in "download" folder, please share.

Lets try to avoid having this watch float around for unsuspecting buyers

True but each legit part is anyway a good step forward in the right direction.

I understand your concerns. However, I will never sell a fake watch. I will send the watch to Rolex, if everything is wrong, it will go to the trash. I would like to close this unpleasant topic for me now. Please understand that I do not want any pictures published on the internet. I also have to deal with the seller at the time.

A lesson for everyone... that punched papers does not, (necessarily), a legitimate watch make !

Dear mods ,

I have deliberately posted the photos via a link. I do not want these to be posted here any further without my permission.
I still have to deal with the seller at the time and would like to keep this out of the public eye.
Please remove these photos, I do not agree with the action.
I will never offer this watch, but posting my pictures without consent from me is not ok.
Saki

I will just say that this forum is not for the sole benefit of the OP, although he apparently thinks that's the case. The reason that many of us participate is to learn and disseminate knowledge more broadly. Only by leaving photos and information in the thread does it serve as a useful archive for future reference.

As I noted earlier, if the OP did not want the watch discussed publicly, he could have contacted people privately and discreetly, or paid an expert to authenticate the watch for him. Instead, having received the benefit of the free crowd-sourced opinion of the forum, he now would like to erase all traces. You can't have it both ways.

I will post more pictures tomorrow.
RSC should have tossed this case in the smelter, none of this makes any sense.

Really well said, Dan.
