Do you see any problems here?

Oversize rehaut.
Oversize LEC.
Fonts are thick.
Different pearl.

Here is a nice looking one for comparison.

It's also selling for $450.00 craigslist which makes it even more obvious. Thanks for looking.

The fonts in the first image look different then the ones in the second photo. In the second photo the Coronet looks better also. "Thick fonts" can result from rotten digital photos. I think you should request more photos before disgarding this as a fake too quickly.

the second hand lume looks a little too large to me.

here an an additonal pic. you have to admit, without further inspection, it is a good make.

I noticed that the grooves on the clasp itself are suppose to join one another. Aren't they?

Here's what an LEC looks like and it take some serious light to get it to show up that well.



The watch in the OP is a rank counterfeit.

Everything is wrong,
The engraved rehault,
The script
The LEC
The plastic wrapping covering the bracelet is wrong too..

Garbage

It's obviously very fake. The 12 o'clock arrow doesn't properly line up with the top of the Rolex crown. It is slightly off center. And that sticker sealed the deal.

I contacted the seller of that watch and he told me that it's not authentic;a replica.I guess that's still not legal though right?

It's only "legal" in China; it becomes illegal in China whenever a photo-op is needed to convince the gullible in to believing they are fighting against counterfeits.

While not always a sign of a Fake - 5 tick SWISS MADE always concerns me on a 16610. Not to mention the other problems.
