Rolex Watch

My friend is interested in buying this watch. He is concerned it may be fake. I'm not an expert myself. I have raised concerns that there are only three photos that don't show enough of the watch. I don't have enough posts to post a link. Any insight into this would be much appreciated.

Another red flag is that a 116710 shouldn't be a two tone watch. What is that watch in the photos supposed to be? A GMT Root Beer?

Yes it is fake.. this is horrendous... the genuine item is a reference 116713....

Laser engraving on this is absolute garbage... RUN!

As in the link I put earlier, it’s the same serial number of a fake Submariner.

And let’s be honest when you saw the price of £1000, that should have been the end of it.
