I want to buy this gen gmt for 10.500€ which is a little bit lower than other offers on Chrono24 (around 2-3k)! Is it real?

what factory this?
The lugs should be brushed. These are either extremely worn down, or have been polished. The rounded edges at the SEL, and shapeless crown guards all suggest this was just an amateur refinish/polishing job by someone who had no idea what they were doing. You could have the lugs re-brushed, but you can't reshape them or the CGs, so the resale value will always stay below market for a better preserved example. It's all a matter of taste though. If you like the looks, wear it and enjoy!

It's gen but as mentioned the lugs are polished and it looks like the outer bracelet links have been polished also. Yikes!
It's has a bit of a rare dial, a GMT Master "stick" dial, referring to the omission of bases and hats on the numeral II's. These were only produced on V serials, which this sample has.

Thank you all lol didn’t notice this sorry. Just to be clear I requested new photos but yes there has to be a reason why he is selling it under Markt price. He mentioned it’s a good investment and he didn’t wore it that long so must be polished

No wonder I couldn’t quite put my finger on what’s different about OP’s post. I saw it but it didn’t register in my head. Good eye!

That dial looks weird to me and not just the writing on the dial. Whenever I see a gen Rolex, because of the white gold, the indicies always have this thick rim that has a bold look to it. The rim of of the indices always reflect light a certain way, they’re bold, uniform, and always stand out. On this dial, they’re barely noticeable. I mean it may be just the lighting on that one angle but usually on gen, lighting isn’t really an issue. They’re always bold enough to see and to me, it’s one of the biggest/easiest tells that for some reason, only noob seems to address.
I saw kJ say it’s a rare dial and maybe that’s an issue with this dial too. I don’t know, but for a “gen Rolex” dial, it’s not a look I like personally.

This is a very good example of why I’d always pay the extra and send my watch to RSC.
I saw a YouTube video of some idiot polishing a woman’s 2 tone Daytona without even taking the watch apart. Took all the black letters off the bezel, polished all the brushed outer links of the bracelet. It almost bought tears out of my eyes. Savage.

Ok maybe not quite as bad as I remembered but still definitely not the way to polish a watch.
