Serial numbers & Fakes

Hi, I am new and there is probably a reference to answer my question, but I could not find it. ... so... When buying a Rolex
1. If it has a serial number inscribed inside the inner bezel at the 6:00 position does this certify it is real?
2. If it comes with an official piece of paper and has the red "plastic/ wax "officially certified swiss chronometer" tag with the string does this certify it is real?
3. If the serial number is on the inside @ the 6:00 position and there is one on the outside on the steel case where the between the lugs where the band attaches that matches ... does this certify it is a real Rolex?

Thank you ALL very much!
Robert

any topic involving "fakes" does not go over well.

buy from someone you trust. it really is that simple.
