BLNR fake or not

I mentioned in another post I'm looking for a new 116610 but, I have been admiring the BLNR also. I'm keeping my eyes out and rolled across this beauty. The seller has a fair but firm price. I quickly googled fakes/replicas for BLNR as I remembered reading it was difficult to fake because of the bi-colour cerachrome, and to my surprise they are around. I have not bothered to ask for a picture without the casing on but I think it looks suds regardless. Anyone care to play?

Watch in question

A side by side comparison I found (fake on the left)


I personally think the numbers are too thin. Like the 22 on left hand side watch in the 3rd picture

Disclaimer I clearly have no clue hence why I ask. I just saw one from a well known seller here which also has thinner, less crowded numbers on the benzel. It really is a minefield.
