My New LV Please Help

I just purchased this D Serial 16610LV, BNIB with all stickers on the case, I have not received the watch yet. However I took a closer look at the pictures below and would like the experts thoughts. Take a look at the underside of the tips of the lugs, the underside of the tips appear to be off color. I think this could be due to stickers on the underside but yet I did not think Rolex put stickers on the underside of the lugs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, the seller has thousands of past watch sales and feedback is extremely possitive I am just slightly concerned its not new or something is off.

I think you're good to go. Reflections can make images look strange, so maybe that's what you're seeing here.

Looks like the real deal to me too based on pictures provided....but, when it arrives give it the going over to satisfy yourself or post some more pictures if in doubt for opinions.

Otherwise, enjoy your wonderful new Rolex.

Cheers

As was said, post pics of it when it's in your hand. The members here on TRF aren't shy about pointing out fakes or giving congrats either. Good luck on your purchase and happy holidays! :)

Doesn't the LV come with a removable full link on the 6'o'clock side? Total of 5 full, and one half link on 6'o side.
