Rolex 18k Oyster link - genuine or not?

I'm concerned about this 18k Oyster link for two reasons. First, the screw diameter measures approximately 1.6mm rather than 1.7mm. Second, the center link's screw hole does not have a beveled edge. What do you think?

It looks like solid gold and not plated. Reason being all the scratches and dings reveal gold underneath and not some other metal. Just an observation.

It took me a few days to get around to it, but here are some additional photos of the screw. Now that I'm looking at the photos, the slot does look more V-shaped than I thought. I'm not sure which model it came from as I purchased it in a group of parts but it measures 15.5mm wide.
