How to ID a genuine fluted bezel

Hi

Im looking to get a fluted white gold bezel for DJ36.

How does one ID a real OEM Vs an aftermarket bezel?

Seen some on market places with or without the crown stamp.

Thanks

Weight is the tell here - and I would think fairly reliably. All of the the A/M bezels I've come across have been in steel. Best to always deal with RSC direct, however.

Thanks. Appreciated.

The thing is that the ones i have seen are all solid 18k, just like the real.

Im a little confused as some have the hallmark, others not.

Do the new fluted bezels have a hallmark or not?
