New 116500ln help to check

Hey,

Bought a new to me 116500ln. Good seller with feedback. UK Ltd company. Came with Rolex service card and box and the service paperwork from Rolex. For some reason it still freaks me out to make sure all is legit and genuine. Tried to call Rolex St James to just confirm the service paperwork was ok and they refused to even take the serial and said they don’t confirm info. They have before for me for an explorer I purchased. Here are some photos of the watch. Just want you guys to take a look and let me know if you think all is as it should be.

Thanks

Mark

Thanks! I did think so. Just nice to have some confirmation. Just such a lot of money. It’s gorgeous.

What if the watch was cloned from an original and you asked them to confirm on the phone? I don’t blame them

The biggest question I have:

Is the LEC too perfect?

Congratulations!

Take it to an Authorized Rolex AD and get it authenticated if you are concerned.

This one didn’t buy from an AD so that’s not strange. Only problem is a watch can’t be authenticated through pictures only. No one can see the movement on these pics.

OP, go to a RSC and ask for a service quote. See what they say.

It's good! Congrats mate.

If you still have doubt for some reason or other, send it off for service or take to AD to have gaskets replaced. Worth the extra cost if you are losing sleep over it
