Does this look real? Jacques Piccardo Edition 18/86

Hello,
I have the opportunity to buy this watch. I haven't seen it in person but I was sent these photos. I've asked for more close up ones of the dial but any help based on these would be great appreciated!

Who would fake a Prohunter?

We don’t discuss fakes on TRF. The heads have been replicated though.

I have not seen that LE number nor have seen the whole package done.

For the OP: what did you find? That the photos were stolen and the seller was a scammer?

Would you care to elaborate? Are you talking about a Prohunter LE? As far as I know they -poorly- pimp Rolex watches, I am not sure whether they source the original watches themselves or whether the customer supplies the watch (à la Artisans de Genève). If that is the case, would they pimp a fake watch (by mistake, or deliberately)?
Otherwise, I do not see who would fake a Prohunter, considering that they have a very low resale value being a modified Rolex…

Not sure what is meant by ProHunter.

The Watch that OP showed has been done before, but poorly done.

Can’t say what his meaning was. That’s as far as I wish to go due to the rules and never know where a new member’s posts are heading.

ProHunter is a company that sells pimped watches.
