The fact this comes from a brick and mortar jewellers should provide confidence tat any issues with authenticity can be challenged if it transpires that this is, indeed, a fake which I highly doubt.
You asked for advice buddy. I have been looking at and wearing these 16610's for 20years. I may be wrong, I hope I'm wrong too..

..but let's not just leave it there, I want to help you... so - go back to this watch/dealer and have a look at the clasp see if it has code E06, and have a look at the underside of the little flip locker, if is it shiny - it's the very super replica I speak of - these will have a clone 3135 movement - many so called watchmakers have been fooled by these (or so it is claimed if you read this whole watchout section).

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
