Datejust 16014 movement genuine?

Hi,

A seller sent me these pictures of the movement and I need help to find out if movement is legit since I'm totally new and have no idea what to look for. Thank you very much.

The linen dial is starting to grow on me, didn't like it when I first saw one. Looks nice with the jubilee bracelet.

I have grown to really love the 3035 as my watchmaking mentor told me I would. He said once you've done a few you'll see.
It took some getting used to. A few more parts and it's laid out kind of bass ackward from traditional Aegler based Rolex movements but...it's really a gem to work on and it runs brilliantly and gives little trouble.

Even though the 3135 would be considered a more elegantly laid out and more advanced movement, I really prefer the 3035 I think at this point. Yes the 3135 is slightly more accurate but..it's kind of a pain to work on comparatively. They're all great. I guess it's whatever you get used to.

Enjoy it! It will be around a long time.

Good to see you, I was getting lonely.
