Sub 16610lv - Real or Fake??

This watch is up for auction today with a bunch of other misc. lots. Looks to be a 16610lv but I'm a newbie so I'm not sure - Can we tell just by this pic. if it is real or fake? If I can preview it what should I look for. Thanks for your help :)

Yep - on a fake. (99.9% of the time, unless a dealer wants to protect the bracelet during transportation.... )
