Is it fake?!
Hi,
i bought Sub 116610 LV in official Retailer - Rolex in Dubai Mall. Pics below. I started to wandering because of serial number which does'nt match the seconds. What abou that? I do have all the papers, the watch was bought in OFFICIAL retailer. Could they cheat? Can i check if my S/N is real (by calling Rolex or wisiting AD)? The problem is i'm in Europe, AD is in Dubai... Please help. |

What do you mean by the serial number not matching the seconds?

I doubt that if you purchased the watch from a AD you bought a fake. If that did happen & it could be proved rolex would yank their AD so fast it would make their head spin.

About the engraved S/N number - it' exacly in the center of gap betwen ROLEXROLEX. Maybe if the SN is longer its doesn't match to seconds indicators?

It looks fine. The new Random Serial numbers have 8 digits. The digits will fit "between" the seconds tick marks. The older style Serial numbers have 7 digits, these will line up with the seconds tick marks. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. Cheers!

This is what the op claims is the same watch. The serial number has changed. Also the cyclops magnification has gotten larger on some of his new pics. I think what we see here is a mixture of fakes and real watches.

Serial numbers are all different and don't have any relationship to the seconds markers on the dial...

That makes sense. The 7 digit s/n should sat differently to the 8 digit random s/n.

What is clearly a 3 has turned into a 2! What is clearly a 1 has turned into an 8 or 6!

I agree.
Agreed. You are exactly right. Random SN subs have 4 characters on each side of 6 O'clock which does not align them to the second markers. |
