Questions About Authenticity?

So I bought a new old stock (D serial) Ladies Yacht Master from a source recommended on this forum who obtained it from a chain retailer, but there are a few things I find unusual. Perhaps I'm just unfamiliar with the LYM, but I feel compelled to inquire.

1. There is a sticker on the case back that is clear with a red line across one third of it, not the green sticker.
2. There is no gasket on the stem despite a photo in the manual which clearly shows a gasket.
3. I can't see the micro etch coronet on the crystal. I have good close eyesight, but no loupe. How hard is this to see?
4. The warranty card serial number matches the watch case, but card says champagne when the dial is white. Seller says not unusual for AD to swap dials or send to Rolex to sawp.
5. The bezel rotates both ways.

Otherwise, the watch looks fine, except it is a little shopworn. It's obvious the band has been off a few times. Etchings between the case lugs appears correct and matches the card and hangtag.
