Engraving on 126600 clasp

Yesterday I was meeting my friend who just got himself a 126600 MK1 ( without Rolex crown in between Swiss Made wording).
We compare the engraving quality on the clasp to my surprise the engraved wording looks so bad in quality, it's like using blunt tool. As compare to my 3 years old deep sea , my watch is far more tidy and clean.

Is not bad quality, the letters now are made with 2 lines intead of only 1, then in the picture is more hard to get a good picture. But is even more complex.

He got it from grey importer, might worry he bought a counterfeit piece.
This is my 3 years old deep sea.

Ok his watch I observed only the steelinox and Rolex.s.a are hard to see, whereas the Geneva wording on the other piece is fine.

Hi. I am confused. Which picture is your friends 126600? The Rolex S.A. looks much clearer in the first photo than the second

Can you post a photo of the Rolex swirl & crown engraving on the other end of the clasp?

An eager molecular biologist could probably easily be persuaded to isolate and clone a little village from all that smudge
