I'm not the expert you're looking for, but it looks real to me.

The pictures are sharp enough to say it's genuine - I did notice it went 13 years before its first overhaul - then 25 more years afterward it had its second one.

Only judging that from the inside caseback scrawls. Some parts may have more wear on them if organic oils were used back in '90.

Looks like a nice example overall. I'm sure you have noticed this already, but the insert is a service version.

Hi Michael. I did not notice that. Thin fonts come to mind when I think or read about service inserts, which I didn't get the sense was going on here.
