Got my new Rolex 116234 G, no serial between lugz, might it be a FAKE?!

got my new Rolex Datejust 116234 G-series a couple of months ago. I just got the time to look a little closer at it today. The first thing I did when I got it was to look so the 6 o ´clock coronet etching was there on the crystal, which it was. It´s a white dial so it´s really hard to see. But it´s there.

After reading some "how to spot fake Rolex watch" threads I decided to remove the bracelet to look at the 6 and 12 o´clock engravings between the lugz. At 12 o´clock it says "org. rolex design 116234" and at 6 o´clock "stainless steel". BUT there´s NO serial at 6 o´clock.

However there´s a serial etched on the inside ring at 6 o´clock. Which matches the one on certificate.

Should I be concerned about the missing serial between the lugz? This is making me a little nervous! :)

Thanks.

If you bought it on "Blocket" then you have every reason to worry.

Got a bit worried when I saw a V-series with serial both on rehaut and between the lugz.
