Help authenticating this Rolex President

I am very interested in this watch. I want to know if it's fake or not. From my eyes, it looks good and Zeidman's has a history of selling Rolex. But I still want the opinion of this forum.

I can't post links yet so I'll just add photos.

I don't see anything myself. Any specific items of concern looking at it from your side? Trusting your seller is pretty important.

It looks ok to me but only a professional can tell you for certain.

Do you know who can I ask in person in LA?

Is there a charge for verifying?

Go to a Rolex AD and ask them to pop the caseback for verification.

Hi
Can you post a photo of all 4 back lugs. We can see 18k on one (that looks good) can you get the other 3 lugs
Thanks

You can get it verified by an AD. They usually charge $100-$150 but will open up the back and verify everything.

There's also a rolex service center in Beverly Hills. Will they be able to verify it too?

It's a bark bezel not an engine turned.

That is a "fine" (or "finely") engine-turned bezel.
