What to look for to find out if is a fake or authentic?

Hi Guys,
What to look for to a Rolex two tone SS+18K, model 16803 if is a fake or authentic?
Just please give me couple pointers what to look for. It has the original box plus a certificate of warranty that states: Chronometer No. R16803330B9315 and another number under: 9426068
Sold to MASON JLRS 6/5/86

What to look for?

Best regards,
Che,

Is that a TT 1680?

I didn't know they were made in TT, just SS and YG.

Pics would be nice.

The 16803 is a transitional model and one of the earliest TT Subs.

The numbers from the warranty paper are correct for this watch. That is the correct model number for the 16803 - R16803330B9315.

The watch appears genuine and the dial appears correct for that circa 16803.
