eBay purchase . . is it real?

Something looks off about this listing. I guess I'll find out if it makes it through authentication. Of course, this is assuming the picture is of the actual watch being sold.

Doing some research and the 'Swiss Made' dial came out in 2000 and the lug holes were gone by 2003. So this would have to be 2000, 2001 or 2002

It's supposed to be a 16610 but I cannot find an example with the same dial?

THOUGHTS?

That seller has a feedback of 4, bad description. My guess, stolen or a kid selling dad's rollie. If your local go look at it, but other then that run very far away.

Please don’t take this wrong, but if you think a 16610 doesn’t have a date window, then I would recommend skipping buying a clapped out watch on the bay.

I don't see the Authenticity guarantee
hopefully, it works out for you, but I wouldn't have gone with it

It simply won't pass authentication.

It might be an authentic watch, but it's not what is advertised with the date indicator

If description is 16610 and pic is 14060 just hit the back arrow and move on. No need to post here.

Please say that you're paying via PayPal and using your American Express card? Without eBay authentication, it has a high probability of going sideways.

Doubt the OP will even get a watch. Pretty common scam. He'll most likely get his $$ back, but not before the scammer transfers the money out of the hacked PayPal account.

Oh, and the pics are stolen from Mayor's / WOSG. Took 5 seconds to find.
