I'm selling my motorcycle, something I rebuilt but is worth only ~$2000. This guy sent me pics of a 116610, and it looks ok to me. I'm wondering if its possibly a frankenstein, and I'd have to open it up to be sure.

Yeah I guess the dial and date look off. And that rehaut engraving. I can't at all tell on the case/lugs or the bezel. But the clasp engraving is off too I guess.

Not only fake but a very bad fake. It's worth less than $100.

Haha.. that was a quick change of mind

If anything looks OFF.. its a fake

That thing is a pig, theres not 1 thing right about it, and sure as hell aint a franken.

Thanks for the help all. Honestly this thing looked perfect to me, but I think I was just giddy at the thought of making a few extra grand. This fool told me he got it in Japan while serving in the Marines! What a joke. Anyways, once I looked at it again I sobered up and saw how bad it is. I think I was looking for that classic Noob dark bezel numerals, but since this one is plenty white, I was distracted.

I certainly did not sell this dude my bike.

When he shows up with the watch, open the garage door and have this behind it
