18038 - need an opinion

Hi-

I’m hoping to get some opinions here. I just purchased a 18038 online. Received the watch and brought it to my local AD.

AD said the bracelet was questionable, crown, dial too, might be an aftermarket. AD did however say that based on price 10,700USD I did get a good deal.

I took it to a second AD in the area and they said it all checked out. Seller is a reputable jeweler in the US. Seller swears up and down everything is original.

Seller is willing to let me send it to RSC in January - if it comes back that anything is not original they will take it back for a full refund. What do y’all think? Additionally from my own research I cannot find the dial anywhere (no lume dots).

My only gripe is that the case links on the bracelet are a bit loose and leave a bit of a gap and I do want to make sure it is all OEM.

Pics would help. Lots of people here that can quickly determine authenticity.

So the seller will let you pay for rsc trip?

Yes, without clear pictures it's not going to work
