Submariner hulk real / fake?

Hi everyone, I am new in this forum as I see there are many of you (professional rolexes owner) willing to help newcomers such as myself. I am new into Rolex and this submariner 116610LV is my all time fav watch since many years ago. As you all should know, it is impossible for a new guy like me can get this unit in any Rolex AD. Therefore, I pulled the trigger and bought it in one of the grey dealer in my country (Malaysia). This watch is brand new and warranty card registered at year 2017. However, here is something that bothering me is this warranty card does not have country code like the other countries stated on the warranty card. The warranty card stated the watch AD by Betteridge. Also, I went to RSC to try authenticate this watch and my local RSC are not eager to authenticate it as they mentioned they've stopped doing such service. The only way for me to authenticate is through a service overhaul with them which cost more than $600 but this is a brand new watch and I don't think is wise for me to spend $600 just to authenticate the watch which is still under 5 years warranty and brand new.

My question is does Rolex sold by Betteridge US does not have country code?

I uploaded some photos of this watch and hope to get some opinion. TIA everyone

I can’t see anything wrong with it, but you ask questions about the warranty card. Why no pics of that?

I don't see anything wrong with it. A quick way you can tell is the center rivet - it should be completely smooth and polished - no roughness under macro. The fakes do not have that part mastered yet.

My warranty card from Betteridge reads the same..I’m pretty sure. When I get home tomorrow I’ll get it out to look and compare. Don’t think you have anything to worry about though.
