Is this Rolex watch authentic?

Hello,
This is my first post so hope to get it right🙂. I was wandering if this watch is authentic.
Inside watch number reads F714983.
Both clasp ends reads GL 179174.
I have also find the crown at 6o clock with magnifying glass. However, no engraving on other side between lugs after clasp removed.
Green sticker reads 69173.
Doesn't let me upload photos, will keep trying...
Thank you

I’m a bit suspicious based on the presence/lack thereof of the markings and stickers. Theoretically watches with a rehaut-only serial number never overlapped with watches affixed with a green sticker. I suppose it’s possible, but it would be uncommon based on what I’ve read. However pics would lead to way better resolution.

That number has previously been associated with a fake.

From an old thread:
DATEJUST with Serial number F714983 are fake
I have one ROLEX Datejust and am positively aware that my ROLEX Datejust with Fluted Bezel is a Fake, although it has a good finish and looks like that of a Genuine ROLEX & has the Serial No: F714983 in the Watch above the Dial at the 6 position.

Crown at 6 indicates a newer model, F serial indicates 2003, green sticker predates the hologram which indicates the nineties.

It’s fake. No pictures required.

And maybe a picture is worth a thousand serial numbers. Maybe both statements are true within a vortex of some ever-spiraling cybernetic loop.
