Preowned 116610LN - Need input please

hi folks

I am getting another submariner 116610ln which i want to give it to my dad as a present but this is a pre-owned and thinking whether this is genuine or not so i will be needing all the guru here to give some opinions

Seller is willing to let go at $6500. Item is dated December 2012 so still have some warranty.
no proof of purchase(no store receipt) as i believed this is grey market purchase, but Warranty card(Store STAMPED and dated), booklet, green and red tag, box, links, clear dial cover are all there.

Serial number starts with: 1S1Xxxxx matches the warranty card

let me know if extra pictures needed

Looks legit, but so do lots of fakes. Best to buy from a seller who's trustworthiness is/can be vetted.

If possible get the watch checked out by RSC.

Would try to get this watch here since you have already some doubts. Not sure if they can beat here 6.5 but you get peace of mind and a original receipt as well.

Watch looks fine and if bought even from a grey dealer its very very doubtful they would sell anything that's not genuine even they have there business name to uphold.

Guys,

thanks for the advice.

@Songkran: I believed you meant Laser Engraving at 6 oclock. I used an LED to point there and can confirm that there is a crown engraving.

Was there anything else you guys can check just based on looking at the attached pictures? The item is not perfect, there are hairline scratches but its all part of it.

Any other input highly appreciated

thanks
