I'm posting comparison photos of a 1601 & 1603. Looking for opinions on the 1601, engravings, case and dial. I already have my own opinions about the engravings being sloppy and that I have never seen a 6 like that on a Rolex. The case not having an ellipse to accept the movement and the dial being refinished as it doesn't have a step (Pie Pan) as well as the font being wrong.
Opinions?

Engravings:

Case: Top is 1601

Dial: Top is 1601

Thanks for all your time, I apologize for the size of the photos.

The 1601 case is fake.

Thank you for responding, The reason I'm asking people for their opinions is because I'm trying to prove to the seller the case is not authentic. He wont take my word for it and insists its real after he consulted his "Vintage Experts". The watch has been taken to Rolex for authentication so at least I will have it in writing.

Hooo! The engraving on that case almost made me spit my coffee out.
Thanks for the laugh!

Dial is refinished for sure.

That case was obviously not done by Rolex. The engraving is horrendously crooked. Stay far away from this watch.
