Real or fake DSSD

Can anyone tell me if this deepsea is a obvious fake or not? Not my watch and I'm definitely not buying it but I do see that the seller is asking $7,000 for this watch and it seems unbelievably underpriced as I've seen these watches go for $8k-$9k used!

Poor pictures and therefor not obviously fake . The inner rehaut seems high . The cut out in the endlink to release the pin seems the wrong shape . The booklet and card holder are of dubious quality and not sure that that type comes with Deepsea models .

Certainly not an obvious fake but some very convincing fake DSSD around, but as many have said, and keep saying... Buy the seller!

Even if genuine, is that the watch you will get?

Is it on fleaBay? Does the seller have references? And why are you asking if you don't have an interest in buying?

The position ( off center to the markers ) of the 10 on the bezel as seen on the picture is correct for the Deepsea model

I honestly have not made up my mind on this one. I require better photos.

That watch is posted on Craigslist and was just wondering because I've seen a lot of these posted here on the watch-out section and from what I can see, the font is too dark and the pearl does look way to big. But that's basically why I was asking because if it's a fake, seller wants a whopping $7k for that pos

The lume on Rolex dials is not glossy at the surface!
Lume pip looks off, too and the mentioned not-centered 10

Fake!

That's the link. Yeah, I wouldn't trust Craigslist at all unless I'm meeting them up at a local AD to verify the watch but other than that, I'll definitely stay away from eBay as well. So, what you guys think? This guy is trying to turn a $100 dollar "gift" to a $7,000 scam

The domed crystal on a DSSD is hard to fake correctly

Fellas fellas fellas... Who's screaming fake so fast, without knowing? I have a deepsea, my friend has bought a fake, by accident.. I have become familiar with comparing the two before he returned it back to amex through a claim he filed!

The pearl is a dead giveaway, cloudy crystal, terrible end link fitment, numeral font and 10 position is terrible, teeth on the bezel not defined... Not even close

The 3 and the 9 o'clock markers on the bezel are wayyy off. The pearl is at 12 but those markers are way wonky
