Scratches in the rehaut - GMT 16710 1996
Hello folks,
I am considering buying a GMT 16710. Despite the watch being in excellent conditions, during the inspections, I noticed two scratches/marks in the rehaut. I honestly do not understand how that is possible, being the rehaut a part of the case and not normally accessible. It really looks original, but I haven't check inside. Could this be a sign of being fake?   Thanks, Tommy |

Looks to be water stains rather than a scratch. No signs of water damage to the dial so I’m guessing at it being down to inadequate cleaning of the case. Real or fake you’ll have to post much better pictures but the hands and dial look ok from the very little that I can see.

Agree they look like stains.
