Is it genuine bezel insert for 16710

My friend has one of 16710 , Serial Z xxxxxx
I was found that this bezel insert look like aftermarket made.
Do you agree with me?

Something looks off. The dots between the numbers look bigger and spaced a little higher than on genuine inserts. However, close-up photos can throw off perspective a little sometimes. Interested to hear other opinions.

Look at the numbers 20 and 22, how they don't follow the contour of the insert. Agreed that it's an aftermarket insert.

This! Particularly the 22. Easiest way to spot.

If you imagine 2 vertical parallel lines on the 2s, the hook doesn't go outside of these lines so based on this I say it's a real insert.

Aside from what others said, the interior circles of the 8 and 18 look to be two different sizes. The flat head of the four and fourteen look too big as well. I'm a complete novice at identifying aftermarket things, but I think some things are suspect. Cheers, Tim
