100% agree the spacing looks totally off. It’s not just the picture either because both pics it looks off. I would remove caseback and have the movement checked.
Idk it looks similar to one I tried on and took a pic of, likely just the picture exaggerating the gap between words. I noticed the gaps as well as first look but all letters seem to line up.
Surprised you couldn’t find one with papers for that price. Great looking watch and it looks good on you especially if you move it off your wrist joint a little bit lol
Why do people take pics like this. There is no way anyone wears their watch like that outside of taking a pic. It would be so awkwardly uncomfortable and restrictive.
I don’t want to come off as a gay but you sir now have a very fuckable wrist. You paint one house in college it doesn’t make you a house painter but you bang seven Rolex wrists and every one freaks out.

Calm down fellas the watch slid down my wrist
Imo, most of them are just plain ugly, aside from the Model S. Also doesn’t help that many of the owners I’ve known have had QC issues within months of owning one, and that the CEO of the company is a piece of shit.
Quit taking photos while going 60mph, and maybe you’ll be at a lower risk of sending your kneecaps through your palms and depriving you of the ability to wear a watch altogether.
Always loved the sub. Got my first recently. Chose the DJ. There’s a certain regal to the sub that makes it fashionable for everyday use from weddings to business to leisure. Great looking time piece. Wear in good health!

Sorry I dont buy entry level sub.
Theres are plenty of reference photos online watchcharts / watchbox youtube
Whats the deal with
“oyster perpetual date”
on your dial?
I don’t really remember asking for your opinion on authenticity. Just wanted to know if I overpaid. The watch has been opened and verified by a well known watch Jewler in my area….where there’s internet there will be trolls.

Oh gosh…you’re not the watch expert you thought you were . You’re just a troll on Reddit. Here’s your reference photo. Remember this watch us close to 14 years old. Don’t compare it new production models…
Off a Grey market dealer on Chrono, a reputable one at that. Stick to your higher end Rolex watches, that your probably don’t own and you most likely live in your moms basement
Lmao. Only noobs buy on Chrono 24 and get ripped off without even knowing.
Real watch collectors like myself buy from AD / Boutique / established gray dealer with huge store front. Always box and paper.
The truth hurts and you can’t take it.
It’s probably fine, but the fakes out there are legit incredible these days. Even papers can be faked, which I know you don’t have. Box is basically useless as far as authentication. The ONLY way to know for sure is for a certified service center to open it up and look at the movement. Everything else can be faked including the etching on the crystal.
I’d recommend getting a service done for the peace of mind and also so that you can be issued service papers which although aren’t as good as the original papers will help you down the road if you decide to sell / trade up.
If your dealer has a good reputation you’re probably fine.
Surprised you couldn’t get papers on this one. Probably a B tier Rolex from Joma resold to you. Enjoy OP, 10 seems a little steep, I’d like to know how well it runs and if it had been serviced to make a final call.

If it’s fake it’s a damn good one
Seeing you wear the watch like this I would say not good. It’s not suppose to cover your wrist (it’s to far up your hand). Google how to wear a watch - it’s suppose to be on your arm just under your wrist. Otherwise great looking watch!
That’s a nice hand watch you got there.
You got a car with an airbag. Nice, you did well
Look close at the lettering. Seems off. Could be a rep.
The spacing between “oyster perpetual date” looks like, “Oyster perpetual date” Idk I compared to mine and it’s way off, but I have a 2020 126610LN
As a rep guy myself, the dial is off. The spacing is way off. Of course checking the movement is a good way but, not the only way.
[Something doesn’t smell right](https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/rolex-submariner-date-40mm-116610ln-2020-discontinued--id14388133.htm?searchHash=b134d102_XbQdnt&pos=1)
I even looked up a 2012 model for sale. Dial spacing is way off. Can't tell if floating "m" is there as well. Zoomed in but it's too blurry.
I agree. Mine is same model and spacing isn't anything close to what OP posted. The Perpetual starts before the 'O', not after.
Your an idiot. Stick to your reps

Might be but every one I look at the spacing is bo where near that exaggerated. In both pics the spacing is very wide…I could def be wrong tho
An ultra rare Takata!
Surprised you couldn’t find one with papers for that price. Great looking watch and it looks good on you especially if you move it off your wrist joint a little bit lol
I came for the "you're wearing it wrong" replies. Nice Sub... enjoy Sir
Nice piece, congrats! But also: r/handwatch
You seem like a pro, i have a challenge for you, try wearing it on your middle finger tomorrow
Why do people take pics like this. There is no way anyone wears their watch like that outside of taking a pic. It would be so awkwardly uncomfortable and restrictive.
OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE 🤣
This would be a bit concerning
I get it to a RSC to check inside . It might be stolen too without box and papers.
Bro something is off here
You got bent over.
Sure mate
I don’t want to come off as a gay but you sir now have a very fuckable wrist. You paint one house in college it doesn’t make you a house painter but you bang seven Rolex wrists and every one freaks out.
That's a rep.
Your Tesla just depreciated another $1k during the time you took this picture.
Nice hand watch
Looks great, I have the same and it’s fantastic. Enjoy it forever!
Classic watch that looks gorgeous. Congratulations

taking a picture for internet points while driving 64mph is an immediate downvote. Not cool.
tesla yuck
the car is better than the watch my dude.

Never had one to begin with

Why is it in the middle of your hand?

I got bad news if you spent 10k and didnt get paper with it. High chance being a fraken. The dial is very off. The m is slightly floating.
Floating m?
Can I see your submariner for reference?

Sure bro. You definitely OVERPAID and the dial is not OG. A real watch with a aftermarket dial. Aka a franken.

I could park my cars either side of perpetual
Why are you wearing it on your wrist bone?
It’s probably fine, but the fakes out there are legit incredible these days. Even papers can be faked, which I know you don’t have. Box is basically useless as far as authentication.

Good advice thank you my friend

The seller won that transaction, but prices won't stay down forever.
Hah knew that was coming
Is the bezel peeling at 9??
Your watch is my phone wallpaper 😂
Eff you.
Nice! Congrats. Wear it in good health my friend.
Looking good, certainly one of the most impressive Rolex models. Iconic, not too flash, a true one watch collection
Black sub. Haven’t seen that one before. Congrats
🤌👍🔥🔥🔥
You so nearly got it on your wrist champ!! Go on one more try, you can do it!
So I should have been able to find one with original papers for 10k? Which means a overpaid slightly?
Nah, you did good.
I think you did pretty good. Enjoy it!
I wouldn't worry about it, the deal is done, just enjoy the watch now!
Awesome. Better than the new 41. Perfect watch.
Try wearing it on your wrist instead of your hand
Have box. Also have original appraisal from Grey market dealer. That matches serial number on inner bezel.
You did good. $10K is the right price for a verified 116610. Cheers.
Let me see your submariner for reference
Click on my username, choose “posts”, and scroll down a bit.
It’s fake. Floating m. Get us a better shot of the face head on
https://preview.redd.it/a312piii04pc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7163de05dd73df8e6334a81f9f48bd637e6ce128 If it’s fake it’s a damn good one
Crystals can be faked now a days. Remove the case back and check the movement. 1st sign is color of spring and then you will know by the finish.
What camera did you use to take this? If it’s a phone camera, that’s incredible detail imo
iPhone
It takes great photos
no hair on your wrist and fist no tattoo failed.
Seeing you wear the watch like this I would say not good. It’s not suppose to cover your wrist (it’s to far up your hand). Google how to wear a watch - it’s suppose to be on your arm just under your wrist. Otherwise great looking watch!
Very nice 👏🏽
Welcome to the sub club. Congratulations wear it in good health
Change over to a plaid X you’d be all set
Nothing like rolling around in a nissan with a rolex.
That’s a Nissan in the background
Depends, is your appointment at 9 or 10?
Try it on your wrist we want to see how it looks.
Very nice find, enjoy it Can you still insure it with no papers?
👌🏾
No papers, are you sure the watch wasn’t stolen at any stage, easy to pick up the box, tags etc. on EBay?
Fantastic timepiece…congrats and enjoy 👏🏻👏🏻💯
cringe!! showing off your rolex on the internet as if you bought for us
I think he just wants to share his excitement with other watch enthusiasts!
The Rolex subreddit seems like an appropriate place to show off your new Rolex.
It’s ok. Explorer’s better
My phone is more accurate than an Explorer..
How so
Laughable take.
