At the back of the white tag, check the serial number and the model number. The size of the box used for your watch is indicated too. (refer to the table above in the Box section for more details) Do note that you may not receive a white tag as some authorised dealers keep them, it does not hurt the value of the watch.

At the 12 o’clock bracelet of the watch, there will be 6 links.

 

If it’s confusing or hard to count for you, you can just ensure the number of screws on each side.
