Looking at 1601 with diamond bezel...aftermarket?

I read the excellent write-up by crowncollection in the watch tech section regarding diamond bezels, but I'm still not 100% about this one. I'm pretty sure it's aftermarket.

It's hard to count the diamonds or see the settings clearly in the pics I have. I can see the inner rim of the bezel (nearest the crystal) is beaded.

What do y'all think...genuine or aftermarket?

Yep, aftermarket. So bad one of the diamonds @ 3 o'clock couldn't take it anymore, and abandoned ship.

And maybe it's just the pic, but pic #1 it look like there is a pretty good ding in the rim near 12 o'clock. I'd want a pressure test done first!
