Bezel on the Pepsi GMT Master II

Please delete if not allowed.

Hi guys,
My name is Lars and I live in Switzerland. Hope you all are doing well :)

I have purchased a rolex gmt master ii pepsi, which was built 1997 and its in a very good condition. I bought the watch secondhand and gave it to a watchmaker to check the reference number and if its original - my watchmaker says yes. But looking exactly at the bezel makes me think that it maybe could be somthing like a fake bezel on it. Does anyone of you guys know if this is an original Rolex bezel? Thanks!

Bottom of the 2s seem flat. Probably aftermarket insert

Agree that the bezel insert is aftermarket. Also, the dial printing looks a little suspect, a clearer picture would help there.

On my authentic insert, the top of the 2's don't touch the outer rim of the bezel insert. Agree that it's probably aftermarket - but I'm no expert
