Rolex purchase legit check

So I've been out of the watch game for quite some time, but since I'm finally getting a real paycheck I want to get my long sought after rolexes. This includes a sub and a gmt ii with Pepsi bezel.

I was wondering if I could get input from the experts here as to the legitimacy of a few pieces.

What's up with the sub? Is it yours ? Need better pics. The GMTs look overpolished.
I'm sure others will come along with their opinions.

These pics suck, so it is hard to say whether the quality of the lack of authenticity is at play. BTW, if you are "finally getting a real paycheck," then may I suggest buying a BNIB from a trusted seller on this forum or from an authorized dealer? You will spend more $, but you will sleep better.

Appreciate the advice folks! I'll probably err on the side of caution and spend a bit more for something more reliable. Any recommendations on sellers?

As others have said, definitely need better pics, but I'd stay away. There are a laundry list of potential red flags. I think you're doing the right thing by looking at other sellers. Go to the Rolex for sale page... There are many good sellers with those watches for sale.

Does anyone know when they changed the bracelet from that brushing where it says Rolex in last pic. Mine is 2016 and it's shiny. Still learning.
I see pins in bracelet not screws??? Or are they....mine tend to be flush not recessed
