Just bought a rolex, whats next?

do i take it to a rolex retailer for a appraisal? or is the certificate that came with it good enough. bought it used from a none official rolex watch seller, so i have a bit of a concern for it's authenticity.

also the wristband is a bit loose, i suppose i have to bring it to the shop to have it re sized?

sorry for my noobish questions, this is my first expensive timepiece.

The box is an earlier one. So the "off" color could just be patina.
