The 168000 is the one with the stamp, this reference sign the passage from using the old steel 316L to the new steel 904L.

DON’T BUY. DON’T BUY.
The papers are even easier to fake than the dial... Study the dial closely and draw your own conclusions. Fakes are not perfect.

Need help authenticate this Tiffany Sub

@OP
Rolex with Tiffany & Co. dials are a minefield.
Original papers are very rare and don't really help (see post #34).
As a start, you need much better photos of the dial to compare all text details.
Finally, the only safe way is an authentification by Rolex SA.
