Is this insert authentic?

Hello fellow members,
I just received photos of this Kermit and the bezel insert especially the 50 looks weird to me,
I’m no expert in these older subs so I really need your opinion guys.
All comments are appreciated.
Thank you

Everything seems as it should be

Insert fine, maxi dial and handset also fine. Just need to watch out for Franken watches. Lots of green inserts in LN’s but you need to change dial and hands too.

As others have mentioned, insert appears to be genuine, but clearer photos would help if you have.

I would need much better pix.

Especially to offer an opinion this model.

What are the first identifiers on the serial number?

As others have said. Buy the seller.

Does the paperwork match the model?

Hello fellow members,
So this watch is an m serial Kermit with all box and papers and the watch was taken to rsc for authentication and everything turned out good.
Thank you all for your comments and help.

I always look at the numbers font; the #4 is the easiest to spot if not correct..
