GMT bezel correct?

contemplating this GMT , W4vdial, 1977, 5mil serial,

- just noticed the font on the bezel- looks thin and unfamiliar... is it legit ?

thanks
mike

Looks like hooked 2's, not genuine.

No expert but agree with above posts its FAKE , especially the hooked 2's & definitely had some work done on the insert to age it .

The bottom of the 2's are flat on the aftermarket inserts, genuine curve with the bezel shape from what I've noticed. Not sure if that's always the case? But seems to be.
