SS 116610 Blue bezel/Dail?

Hi all, I met a friend this week sporting what I thought at first sight was a smurf WG Submariner date.

As a fellow WIS I asked to see the watch up close. I immediately saw brushed links. And was asking myself Rolex does only make blue dail and bezel in WG or YG on the Sub!?! I told this to my friend SS 116610 Sub date with blue dail and bezel aren't made by Rolex.

He said he had the watch on loan/temp trade in with his Speedmaster from a friend of his who is a collector. Told me I couldn't be a fake from this person came right out of his safe and that he's an avid collector from a wealthy family.

I inspected the watch and it looked real, all fonts/postitioning, engravings, cyclops looked ok to me. Sweep of secondhand also looked fine. Font inner clasp I have my doubt real lookes a bit finer but not sure. Felt quite heavy also for a SS Sub my GMT Blnr feels lighter.

Don't have any pics...

Really convincing fake or dial/bezel swap on a SS? Or maybe a WG with SS brushed bracelet?

It really intrigued me, I'll have to ask some pics.
