Err buddies...please check out this bezel insert of a 1675 GMT Master with pointy crown guards...listed by this eBay PowerSeller - helomolto of Australia...

The fonts on the bezel insert looks to be WRONG...n NOT original...

Besides other issue of Re-Done Dial(Seller has mentioned it)...the correct period Red 24hour hand should have small arrow instead...

What do ya all say...?

I agree with your observations Orchi.

The font seems far too thick on the bezel - even to my 'untrained' eye !!

Perhaps its been polished over to give the appearence of age - which has made the font wider.

...definitely wrong. Also, may be one of these so called "bleached" inserts.

I reported this guy's entire selling practices to E-Bay. I am hopeful that they do something about this guy. I used this watch as an example and the Paul Newman watch for sale. I'm tired of seeing this guy's BS Sales.
