I would check it myself. I take them apart after I buy them, always.
I do the same with cars.

Presuming this is a legitimate posting why wouldn't OP do homework prior to purchasing? Always amazes me when someone purchases and wanders after the fact. Again presuming this is a genuine question and not just a 'will my fake pass as the real deal' kind of post.

Since the topic of "why would you not do your homework before the sale" has been covered...

Take it to an authorized dealer, have them inspect and tell you.

Dani, you've been asked repeatedly to say if the "luxury store" "Rolex heritage store" is an Authorized Rolex Dealer (AD) and to post images of the warranty and receipt (you can obscure the last several digits of the serial number to prevent fraudsters from using it). So far, your responses have been to simply repeat the same story. No one can help you without the information requested.

As an alternative to asking someone here to tell you if it's a genuine Rolex or a fake, you can take it to an established watchmaker in London and pay them to remove the bracelet and inspect the case for the reference number and serial number, and open the caseback to verify that the movement is genuine, then reinstall the caseback with a new seal and test the water resistance. None of this will guarantee that the watch hasn't been stolen. The only way to do that is to have it serviced by a Rolex Service Center (RSC) there in the UK.

So, buyers remorse. Either enjoy it, yes it was a lot of money, resell it, or return it (if that’s an option). Your pictures don’t raise any alarm bells for me, but I’m not an expert on this DJ. IF you’re really concerned that it’s a fake, what specifically makes you think that?
