16520 Bezel authenticity

[edhahn44]

Hi,

I was wondering if the experts here can tell me whether the bezel on this 16520 is authentic. Watch summary:
- X series: X9xx
- Sold: 1994
- Clasp code: R6

I know there is this summary on the bezels but hard to understand whether it's an MK3 or not:

What's the overall view on the condition of the watch? Seems quite polished to me.

We have been over this in about 5 previous posts on 16520s.....if you can’t take the time to do your own research or look at the differences in the bezels pointed out on the website I don’t think you should be spending 25k plus on a watch.....

This link tells you pretty much everything you need to know. Just compare the photos, with a focus on the spacing of "Units Per Hour." It's fairly obvious.
