I do appreciate the help. I'm hoping TF reached out to me tomorrow and makes this painless.

It didn't come with papers but that was reflected in the discounted price.

Well to give the OP the benefit of the doubt the site he purchased said watch is currently selling a franken GMT...so I guess it might be the norm for them ??

In the event this was a Franken piece, what options do I have to fix it?

For what it’s worth, I did some quick research on TRF and the internet. They appear like a legit company with a decent reputation that has worked with customers in the past. I’ve read some articles from NY Times and Forbes that featured the company as well. Best of luck in your interactions with them tomorrow, let us know what happens. |

Hopefully it is returnable, you fix it by sending it back and getting your funds back. Welcome to the forum, it’s the best Rolex resource on Earth. If you’re looking for a 116 JC, you're prob in the 11.5-12k neighborhood - for a 126, somewhere around $16kish. Go through the classifieds here. Remember, anyone can sell anything here as well with just a $25 donation, so vet the sellers... I find the best deals to be had are here on this forum (or if you own a pawn shop across the street from a casino). |

And assuming the watch is the genuine article, the only way forward is to send it to RSC and they will take it upon themselves to put the right parts into it. This may be fraught with an element of danger on a number of levels leaving you well and truly out of pocket in the least with a D-blue. Or worse My advise. Get your money back and run. Run as fast as you can away and don't stop running. |

OP, good luck tomorrow. For point of reference, a used 116 JC is going to be no less than $12k, even more for complete sets. Unworn about $13 to 14k. Check out some of the TS sites for reference.

The bezel is the biggest mystery as there has never been a green Luminova pip in a Ceramic bezel. As the fakes are apparently getting better by the day, i would say that on the balance of probability the Bezel along with the hands are fake. Or the whole watch is fake |

[QUOTE=tbonesteak;8710737]Actually, the bezel kinda looks ceramic in the blurry photo, I can’t tell.
That IS a ceramic bezel. I can tell. |

An older black dial DSSD that has been fitted with a fake Cameron dial, hence the green Lume on the hands and pearl but blue Lume on dial.

There has to be more to this, I’m not quite bought into the frankenwatch story. If I’m the OP and purchased this watch from a reputable online watch retailer and had suspicions, the first place I would go is to my nearest AD. I’d have them open the watch up and inspect the movement, go from there. Not create a TRF account and post several blurry / out of focus pictures asking what he should do.
Just my opinion. Either way, hope it works out for you Jimmy.

I'd like to see some clearer higher res photos. That watch looks like one I picked up in Bangkok for 2,500 bhat in the pictures posted. Hard to believe its a fake from that seller, however, but something is clearly very wrong.

Theres not much more to this? I went into panic mode in all honesty. Kind of embarrassed to discuss this with any of my watch collector buddies so I turned to the forum. I'm waiting to hear what TF will do for me, i'm hoping its an easy return and I can move forward.

thats why there is no papers IMO. It would tell you its not a D blue dial. Pretty sure US warranty card says D Blue. Cant speak to the other cards as sometimes they are different.

So many comments in here about this watch from people who have no clue what they’re talking about.
