Hi, new to this forum, and to Rolex watches. Still looking to buy my first.

Spotted this on eBay. Pictures 1 and 3 look to be of a real 116264.

Looks like two different watches. One looks real, the other clearly fake. The second photo shows a similar, but fake watch. Clearly the date is a different color. Cyclops window is out of alignment. The Turn-o-Graph lettering is the wrong size. The Rolex name around the bezel is another tipoff, and can later be seen going all the way around the watch with no serial #. Also, clasp looks wrong.

How'd I do?

You did great. Lots of pics of the Watch, none of the movement.

Two different watches. Fake: rehaut wrong no ID nuber at 6 o'clock and thumb recess for flip lock on bracelet wrong. Not to mention the multitude of times displayed in the pictures.

Glad I spotted it. I bought a TOG on ebay today (First Rolex), and learned about Rolexes quick from this site. Can't wait for thursday to arrive.

This is what I got:

Any suggestions for when I receive it? Was planning on taking to an AD to have it sized and verified. Have insurance appraisal coming with watch and Insurance co is ready to insure. Anything else i should do?
