Looking up a Rolex serial number to see if it's fake

Is there a way I can look up a serial number to see if it's legit? This is for a 116610LN and we all know it's one of the most commonly faked watch...

What’s the serial number? usually they are repeated over and over again, hundreds probably thousands of fakes use the same one.

I searched the serial number in the forum and couldn't find any result. So that's a good sign I guess?

Not a good way to determine a fake unless it’s a low end copy. The decent ones have individual random serials

correct
@OP
PM me the serial number and I can run a check- not 100% accurate but 90%?

Sorry for the mistake I thought that they are random numbers with no letters included, but now I know.
