I'm new here - hello from Stoke on Trent, UK.

Just got my first rolex - sub 16610 - love it! Got it from non-AD, who brought it from AD across the street that is closing down after more than 100 years of trading - very sad. Having read a lot of info from the internet I'm confused/concerned in a couple of respects and would be grateful for answers to a few questions for any experts out there.

If I listen very closely I can hear a fast ticking - is this ok?
There's only a model number on the case; no serial number - this is inside the case between the face and crystal.
Looking very closely I think the date magnifyer maybe just 1 degree off line relative to the frame of the date window - is this possible. Should I be concerned?

Sorry if I'm reading like I'm paranoid - wish I hadn't read so much stuff on the general internet - ruining my rolex experience. Having said that if any problems I'd sooner get it sorted now.

Thanks for any help.
