Help me rate this Rolex 118239

Hello! I'm new to this wonderful forum

I'm thinking about buying this Rolex 118239, but I'm no expert like many here. How would you rate the condition of this watch? Anything that stands out or seems weird? Thank you so much for your help.

K serial (mid 2001)
Clasp code: DT6
Bracelet: 83859
It's in Tokyo, Japan

I don’t think that dial is correct for a 6 digit DD but I could be wrong

Not sure about 100% authenticity, but it looks very clean.

I could be wrong, but the bracelet looks like what would have came on a 18239 not a 118239. Since this is an early 118239, it could be correct but it is definitely worth researching.

You also might try posting in the vintage forum, not that a 6-digit reference is necessary “vintage”, but the guys over there have a crazy amount of knowledge and have been in the business of validating authenticity for a long time.

I got a copy of the papers.

Is it weird that there is no date or name on the papers? Also should the serial number be hole-punched and not printed?

AD in Busan South Korea, but as far as no date or name I can't advise whether that was an aok practice back then or not. Watch looks clean though.
