What are your thoughts on this one? There is something about this TT Sub that doesn't seem right...

Not my picture and unfortunately, it is the only picture that was posted!

Wu question for sure. Looks decent to me but I'm not the sharpest knive on the tree.

Maybe it's just me but the hands look kinda thin but maybe I just am used to the maxi pad hands.

The pip looks larger on the pic ?

Super hard to tell from that photo, since usually the most telling things are either the text on the dial, the engraving between the lugs, or maybe hand length.

From that angle, the markers and lume pip all do look a little large, but because of the weird things that camera lens angle can do to distort a photo, it's hard to say definitively. Additionally, there are many aftermarket bezel inserts for sale that'll fit in a stock Rolex bezel, so just because it may have a fake insert, doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. Coronet looks a little oddly shaped and Rolex text looks a little thin, but again, it's hard to tell with one photo.

Definitely not one I'd put my money on though.

Tough call from that photo. Real test is to have it opened if you have that option. There are many great replicas of Submariners available so be careful.

No movement photo with identifying marks on back to that watch. No money from me.

It's showing a tritium dial (T-<25), so that can give you an idea of the age...
