The Submariner.. again.. 116610LN (Pic heavy)

[RepTime 0]

Hi guys,

So somebody is getting rid of his NF V6s. However before I buy the watch I wanted to have your opinions on this watch.
To me it looks fine, but ofcourse I'm not an expert at this. I'm aware that a replica will always have flaws but just wanted to check what the flaws are.
The only thing I could tell is that the crown(guard) looks a bit off, but maybe that's because I'm used to the 5-digit Submariner.

Anyway here are the pictures:

To my untrained eyes, the CG, SEL gaps, and the wokky rehaut are the biggest tells.

Tells aren't a reason for rejecting a repllca.  They're just the differences from Gen, and probably the same in every example of that batch.

Don't looks V6 to me. Maybe a V5.
The coronet on the dial is wide.
Also the date magnifier a little misaligned.

Also the last picture is a different watch

I was just about  to chime in with that and ..... already said it. definitely a different watch. Those pics aren't of a v7, op. Thats a 21j no name factory watch you can get for $130 shipped. with box. i just bought one from dh gate... 

The light printing on the dial and fat markers says it all

Yeah I'm surprised that some cheaper watches/factories can get the insert right but NF with the V7 still has those dull markers. Maybe an idea to swap inserts/bezels when you got both, but I've heard that's not as easy as it sounds on the sub-c.
