Looking at those endlinks I'm going with fake. The blurry inconsistent photos are another red flag.

Pix #2 looks like the gold plating is wearing off the underside of links on right.

Its a fake
Gold plating is tarnishing on the bezel and hands are much too thin

Thank you all for the replies, I can't post a link due to being a new member, however the fake which is in question is on chrono24 and is the cheapest 116523 on there and is from Sweden. I'm going to report it now and hope some of you can too.
Thanks again Rolexforums. |

The end links look like SS with a thin trim of gold on top (see the sides of the centre part of SEL links). Only buy Rolex when there is no doubt.
