Looks fine from here (early fat-font serif insert).
The first pic just appears out of focus and "blooming" a bit. |

Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated.
The original buyer did mention he bought it online from a Rolex dealer in Texas, but was unsure of the details as it was 4+ years ago. He had it on for those 4 years and took it off recently as it was sold to me. Quote:
https://ibb.co/MCc11xM https://ibb.co/MCc11xM ---------- I found this photo of an original earlier fat-font sarif ones that a member was selling previously on the forum. I'm still undecided, they honestly look extremely similar, same looking curves at the end of the digits and thickness https://ibb.co/FspWq6N |

Thanks for the responses, It does look worn on the inner edge, so you may be right, the numbers are close to the edge than the other bezel. Seller was quite certain it was legitimate and was trustworthy. Just wanted to double check. |

No AD or approved repairer is allowed to sell ROLEX spares. So in theory this can not be true " "The original buyer did mention he bought it online from a Rolex dealer in Texas" A
