The bezel insert numeral spacing is off for a genuine 116710LN insert. I'm not sure why it's off, but it's enough for me to question the watch's and/or bezel's authenticity. Compare the even spacing between the bottom of the numbers and the inside edge of the bezel with the even spacing between to top edge of the numbers and the outside edge of the bezel on the genuine insert below and the one in the OP's watch. Because of the black PVD coating on the steel bezel of the OP's watch, the outer edge much closer spacing isn't as obvious. It's a clever way to disguise the obvious.

It's weird being the same age as old people.
