Hey gents, haven't been on here for awhile but I know you are the best at spotting fakes...

I have been offered this 16710 from 2007 complete with box and papers. The seller is away so I get to see it in one week but before I do that I would like a second opinion. I am led to believe it is genuine but I have three concerns:

- the date magnification isn't right (might be the angle?)
- the date is not centred
- the ROLEX on the box looks stranged

Here are the photos: https://imgur.com/a/rinVF

All opinions appreciated. Thank you.

I seen some guys talking over on TRF, some said their date mags were not as good as others. Some people just getting 1.5x date mags.

You just need the check the serial number if he will give you it. You can check a serial number online. Bob's watches even has a serial number checker

Edit. I just seen the cert has the stamped serial. It's a Z serial which is correct for the year of receipt.

Hi gents - just managed to get some more photos from the seller. I will be bringing the watch to the watchmaker with the seller so any last minute comments are greatly appreciated.

I am satisfied it is authentic, albeit some wear on the case and bracelet. Only light scratches are evident and the case appears to be in good condition. Nothing a light polish won't fix.
