Err on the side of caution. If there is any doubt, I would go to an AD or RSC. There are some crazy good fakes out there.

Buy the seller, verify the watch yourself in as far as you are able, and if you still want reassurance, take it to an AD or put it in for a service.
99% of this is buying the seller. If you have a doubt there is no doubt. Why risk it? There are some well regarded sellers in the UK, some of whom price fairly. If someone is selling a watch for significantly below what the UK grey market is asking, personally I wouldn't bother. At the very least, it will be a waste of time. |

If rather spend more with an AD or a trusted seller than elsewhere
 YMMV

I wouldn't trust most AD clerks to be able to spot a fake. RSC only, or a trusted watchmaker.
