Lady DateJust Authentication Verification

Hey guys, I'm gonna ask you guys/gals for some help.

I found a watch that I am interested yet I'm not sure of it's authenticity. The watch is a 26mm Ladies DateJust Reference 179174, Black Stick Dial with Jubilee. The seller doesn't have any documents/tags/manuals/boxes. I think everything looks fine up to the clasp. "J4M" It doesn't match any type of database that is on the internet. The seller states the watch is in mint condition and still has one of the stickers on the clasp. I'd like the experts to help me out with this one...

Here are the pictures...

I mean't everything looks fine except the clasp. "J4M" doesn't match up with any clasp code databases...

Can't tell much by the poor photos. What serial is it? Does it have engraved rehaut?

BTW - I believe the clasp code should be "E06".

The seller does not know the serial number. It seems as he doesn't know anything about watches. I asked him to send me a close up picture of the dial so I can look for the rehaut.

The clasp code "J4M" seem weird. I can't seem to find anything on the internet.

Shouldn't a watch with that bracelet have the engraved rehaut? The font for the date struck me as off...but it may be the angle of the photo.
