It's got a sunburst dial so it'll have a random serial. It's pretty new.

Yep.

There is no way to tell what year it was made with a Random S/N. If the seller has the warranty card, then you'll at least know the sale date.

To my untrained eyes that does not look like a 3135 movement in that particular Ceramic sub...

And no parachrom hairspring for a new 116613 Rolex :(

Thanks for the information Mike....

I learned so much from you by reading most of your posts.....

The first picture is of a Rolex caliber 3035, which would not be in a sub with a random serial number.

The second picture shows a generic movement ( possibly ETA 2824) with an oscillating weight that resembles one from a Rolex. Also the hallmarks are wrong on the back of the lugs.

I would stay away from this one.

Not a good one!!!! Beware.
The dial is gilt, it's not supposed to that way.

Same answer as you got here,

no need to repost, two different watches and it's is fake

OP, you have been fair warned about this watch and to walk away. If it was a genuine white gold Sub, the dial would not have gold lettering and the bezel insert numbers and markers would not be gold colored. Also appears to be pics of 2 different watches. Do not get burned, it is a scam!!

I thought I was going mad for a minute until you put the link to the older post. I say older but it was only earlier today I looked at it.

OP has had fair warning, as has already been said. The rest is on him now.

A little surprised how long it took for someone to point out the issues with these pictures.. haha

None of those movements are even close from being new. First one is aRolex but early 90's or older the Second one is an ETA clone.
Look at the balance and the balance plate, Rolex Started using balance bridges in their movements in the late 90's early 2000's I don't know exactly when somebody might know around here. This is before parachrom was developed.
The second picture for me looks terrible. I'm no expert in hallmarks, David is but those, doens't look "stamped" they look engraved and big.
Apart from the obvious non Rolex movement, the setting of the bracelet into the case says it all.

RUN! =)
