Fake GMT For Sale on Watchcentre?

This looks like a fake to me. Am I wrong?

the watch pictured is genuine, look at the hand stack...

the bezel looks tore up though.

What about the extra space after the dash (after GMT and before MASTER)?
That's a common flaw on fakes.

Chances of a fake being sold on New Bond Street are extremely low. Price gouging is the game there, not fakery.

I've read that Watchcentre is reputable, and I know about the hand stack and (I think) most of the other things to look out for, but I've never seen that double space before and it just seemed like an imperfection, hence my question. Thanks.

Mine is guaranteed real. Bought from AD and coffin case opened by me. V serial.



Similarly on my 116718LN as well.

I have a Kermit M serial which has an added space between the "=" and "300m". This could be a flaw which adds to the watch's value. And I'm certain my watch is authentic.

There are many different ways to formulate your question or doubts without asking straight out if this a fake
