Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 Authentication

Hi All. I'm new here so apologies in advance if I am posting this in the incorrect forum. I would like to get an opinion on the authenticity of an AP 15400 I recently purchased on the 'grey market'. I'm nearly certain that the piece is authentic but I purchased it brand new and received what I believe to be a fairly good price. While it may sound risky making such a purchase without have said piece authenticated in advance, the jeweler I purchased it from is local and has been around for quite some time. That said, I'm always a bit paranoid about these things ('these things' being large ticket purchases from unauthorized vendors). I've attached a few pics of the piece. I there are any experienced AP buyers out there I would love to hear your thoughts with regard to its authenticity. Thanks in advance to all who chime in!

Looks really good. Congrats. How does it feel? In torn between the RO or ROO on a bracelet.

On bracelet? No question the RO bracelet then. The ROO bracelet doesn't have the shimmer that the RO has. Any RO/ROO I've ever owned has been bracelet/strap respectively.

OP - looks good, as long as it also came with the correct green boxes and 2 books (with matching serial) you're good.
