16613 bezel insert fade

How common is the fading of the gold off of the numerals from the numbers of a 16613 bezel insert? I have a 98 ("U" serial) 16613 blue and notice the numbers are not as gold as they once were. Still "gold-ish" but not as bold as before. Is this common? Since I bought this used, I am dreading the possibility that this is an aftermarket bezel insert and not genuine Rolex part.
