Open case back if you can and check the movement.

If you’re in Vegas take it to an AD. Where did you get it?

Yeah, don’t take the case back off yourself. Get an AD or independent watch dealer to authenticate it. Only way for peace of mind. Obviously, where you bought it is important - do u trust the seller?

Maybe an expert will be able to help with the pics provided. If not, then what he said☝��. Take it to an AD.

The watch looks good. Transition model with lug holes and a solid end link bracelet.

Bob's is a trusted supplier; I'd have no issue buying from them. I've bought from them in the past and was very satisfied!!!!

I've had no experience with Bobs... but they are like the first site to come up when you google pre-owned Rolex... legit site, business and tons of sales... so I can't imagine you'd get a fake from them. The watch does seem to have some wear... so I'd maybe save back up over a year or so, then send in for service and you'll get your 100%, and have a brand new condition watch!

Nothing concerning I can see from those pics. All looks legit from here. Nice transitional 16800.
hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it's got some sweet patina on the hands and hour markers.

Enjoy and congrats!
