GMT black inserts..How to spot fake ones?

[DSplash]

Hi

I’m looking for a black GMt insert, preferably a fat font one, but although I’m getting better at spotting fake Pepsis, I have no clue, despite the occasional obvious hooked 2s, how to spot a fake fat font Black insert...
The fonts vary a lot, some are more or less serif, etc.

For example, is one of those 2 legit? If so, which one is older?



I would think the first one is real as I saw one that looked exactly like it recently sold in minutes by a known seller...No idea about the second one...
Is there a post here doing a recap on those inserts like there is for pepsi ones?

Thanks!

I think fakes are getting so good that there wouldn't be a way without having an original one side by side to compare it in person. That's why you should buy the seller first, then the bezel

Thanks!
I read that post and found it very interesting!
But it seems that since 2016, the aftermarket inserts greatly improved and fake ones don’t always have an obvious hooked 2 anymore...

Then post your question there to keep that thread current.
