16750 GMT - Does this bezel look right?

Recently came across a few Rolexes one of which is a 16750 GMT with a 6.2M serial. Overall it all looks right, but the bezel for some reason looks slight strange (especially the 8 at the 9 o'clock marker). Does anyone have any thoughts on this bezel?

Thanks for the help here. Any additional comment on why this may be fake?

I saw a 16750 on Theo and H that had a similar looking bezel

Also, what about the hour hand looks off?

Just in case I attached one more picture of the watch in question

Thanks for your guidance here. Any additional comments on why the hour hand looks off and why you would mention this is a fake?

note: I fully trust / respect you opinion and just want to get more verse on this topic.

I did also see a similar bezel one on T&H

@Andres, just compare my GMT's hour hand with the one you've shown.

On what concerns fake inserts, there are many around and most dealers are not experts... or they don't care!

I got it - basically the one in question looks like there is no depth to the hand - correct?
Again, thank you so much for the guidance

On fake bezel inserts like this one, the bottom of the "2"s in "22" form a straight line. On genuine inserts, the bottom of the "2"s form a curve that follows the curve of the crystal edge.

Fake on top, genuine below.

Sorry, after that second picture, I take my comment back. the round part just looked too big in the first pic. But the insert is definitely not genuine, same goes for the T&H one. Shame on them if not mentioned in their ad.

Fake insert: you can tell by the 22 and the 8 at 9 o'clock.
