I'm pretty sure he can't reply anymore lol rip

Then who will we rely on to tell us if a watch is gen or rep???? Woe is me...and out the door goes another testa di cazzo

Good riddance, and thank you for another lesson from tripdog the Rolex school, though you are never getting back the wasted time spent with the fool...
Thanks brother QueTip for the link. Was a pleasure watching RWI's finest at work.

So back on topic.. how did the scammer add weight to the 116613?

Just thinking out loud here, is there any space inside the caseback to add a disc or even a washer of say, lead, and there still be space for the rotor to do it's spinning thing?

The two tone link weighs 3.6 grams and the watch itself with its standard 13 links is 174 grams. He didn't match the weight but swapping a few gen links will certainly put you on that path. The replica I would assume weighs 160 grams like a gen SS model so 10 grams more isn't exactly ground breaking stuff.

As far as scammer weight manipulation it's not the case they target.

Back to the OP's picture of the watch on the scale. It does not show what is behind the watch head, perhaps weights to bring the weight up to 170?
