Reported. But gee guys, it has the genuine laser etched crown on the crystal. He even has them circled now to prove it's real.

That's exactly the problem. The LEC is not supposed to be so visible without specific macro focused shots. On naked eye I can't see the LEC on my rolexes and this one just looks like striking out.
Also there are a couple more issues - there is no 116610, only 16610, and the clasp hinge looks totally fakeish. Also, the metal surrounding the lumes in the dial are so thick. Real rolexes are much much thinner, as well as he tried to his best in hiding the cyclop date display. It smells a rat right away. |

Rolexhelp, have a look at the bracelet center links, there solid. Real Sub center links are hollow.

Reported again. It's going to have to be reported several times to get them to pull it I guess.

Another important detail are the SEL's. On a genuine watch they do not come out that far on the lugs, also the pin access bevels look nothing like that on a genuine watch.

All that + the dial script on the 300m is misaligned with the line below it.

One of the "Third Stage" checklist for Genuine Submariner is to check the alignment of the letter "M" in the word 300m and CHRONOMETER. The M's should be on top of one another.
I Declare this one to be definitely questionable. |

Translation :
" I am not sure if this is authentic or not" = I am lying. I know full well that the watch is a dud.
