Double check on GMT

I've been offered this at a good price and just want a double check. It feels right except 2 things. It doesn't feel the same winding up as my sub, Daytona or explorer and the one other thing is the red of the bezel stops at the 1 in the 18. Most I have seen have chopped the 18 in half of that makes sense. Am I being over critical as the price is good!?

The bezel is suspect, might be aftermarket. Not too sure about the bracelet either. Can you get more pictures of the dial and the caseback?

Looks fine based on your pictures.

As mentioned, better pics of the bracelet and check the reference numbers for final confirmation...

To be fair the bracelet is alright, correct code to age, correct clasp etc. seems you have the same bezel thought though.

In the picture you provided it looks like the clasp is unmarked. Is this normal?

The clasp isn't visible in the pictures. I'm taking it to my jewellers to do the deal and open it up. Better safe than sorry.

Like you also saw the Bezel is not 100% - That said I intend to have interchangeable Coke and Pepsi ones so not the end of the world to me
