GMT MASTER II, Something looks off?

I don't know what it is about the bezel on this, the 1's aren't straight like other bezels and most noticeably the red / blue line on the #18 seems off. What do you all think? Been looking for one of these for a while, this seller is local.

That bezel looks way off to me. The colors look wrong, the font looks wrong. The cyclops looks bad too. I'm no expert, but I would stay away from that watch.

I'm being told that that's just how the bezel looks on this version, have my doubts. This is a reputable seller though, many stores in my area. Buys and sells, estate sales ect.

No way! That bezel is totally off ... I don't care what the seller is representing. Here' s an idea ... ask the seller to meet you at an AD or a Rolex Service Center to have it authenticated. Betcha he/she won' t agree. Even if they do, betcha it doesn't pass muster.

Fully agreed. Many so-called reputable sellers may not be aware the parts in their watches are aftermarket ones.

I'm confident the watch is authentic, I'm quite sure the bezel isn't. I know he would buy and sell a fake, risking his reputation. Thanks for all the help.
