Opinions on this 2011 Sub.
Hello everyone.

Looking for some advice on this 116610 Sub.
Been speaking with the seller and considering making an offer but thought I would run it by the experts first.

Here is a link to the ad;
http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ro...#photo-content

Also some additional photos I requested;




Thanks

No clue on the seller. I would expect much better photos before I consider the purchase.

Not enough detailed photos to be conclusive. Need more pics and maybe David(CrownCollection) can give you a better answer. He is indeed one of the best on the forum here at spotting a fake.

These are so cheap on the grey market... Why not just buy used there or from a known Seller?

The unmodulated "O" in "ROLEX" gives it away instantly.

It's the seconds watch I've seen lately with that very pointy sharp coronet on the dial. I don't trust it, but is scary.

I find that easier to ID in photos than the font, the fact that the tines lack properly rounded pearls.

The bracelet screamed fake at first look too. I'm always curious about the movements in these things.
