Is my 116010LN real?

Hello all,
I'm relatively new to this forum and have a question for y'all experts.
I recently purchased a pre-owned submariner from the other forum and I just want to make sure this is authentic submariner. Because there are very good replicas out there, i'm just a bit paranoid I guess. Does having matching serials on watch, warranty card and white barcode thingy means it's authentic rolex?

Thank you all in advance!

Nope - I have fakes with matching warranty card
And there are some things that raise my alarm and point to fake.
Lets here what others say

Gladiator,
Do your fake warranty cards have AD stamps?

To my eyes that looks spot on. Be keen to hear why others think not.

Difficult to tell. A couple photos of the movement would help.

Movement photos would not just "help" but categorically affirm or deny.

Based on poor dial shots there are 3 or 4 issues of concern

Would you mind elaborating more on concerns you see from the pictures?

Every time I stop by the "watch out" section, I quickly am reminded how much people DONT know, and how much misleading advice there is.

Adam, would it be too much for you to elaborate given the outcome? I understand if you’d prefer not to.

Elaborating is against forum rules...

I see a couple of potential issues as well but again better pics are needed.

No, I dont think its a "written" rule - just the way we tend to work here

I've seen a few non-genuine cases that have had genuine movements installed in them. Some people will go to great lengths to add genuine parts to non-genuine cases, so I'm not sure I would be comfortable saying it was "categorically" genuine based on movement photos along with what is here, but it would be another bit of evidence.

I’ll back up gladiator on this. The watch is fake sorry. I would run back to whoever you bought it from and demand your money back.

There are fake Sub ceramics being sold that fool watchmakers, pawn shops, dealers and, of course, even the Rolex guys. They sell for around $500 - $600. The movements are also very good but with that said, the savy counterfeiters are buying Datejusts and swapping the movements with the Subs.

They sell the Subs for around $4500 and sell the Datejusts for close to what they have in it - although the Datejust now has the fake movement.

Also happening with GMTs too.

Be careful out there everyone, be very careful. Especially you bargain basement shoppers - which are plenty these days.

Looks fine to me.

What year is this dated on the card?

This looks like the newer laser matrix engraving on the case.

The Rehaut engraving is spot on, font, location, position and size. So, case appears genuine, as does the bezel engravings and color. crystal looks gen, date centered perfect.

I am not an expert like other friends here but it looks ok to me. As others said check movement and throw some clasp photos it would help them evaluate more clearly. Hard to tell by photos but if it is a fake it is a flipping good one.
