Is this a gen bezel?

[deja]

Hi guys,

need some help here!

is this a genuine bezel and tropic??

I'm thinking no on the insert... inside of the "2" angle is pointed, and a narrow "4" should have a tall "5".

Need to see a profile shot of the crystal, is it a T-127? That looks like the very old "sorta domed-squarish" T-127 on my 1680.

Let's see the bottom.

I've heard a method to tell gen crystals. Look at the bottom edge of the crystal. If you can see the layers of the crystal with the naked eye (you'd have to contrast this against the light) then it's not gen because rep crystals are usually layered much less than a genuine one, which appears quite smooth

If I could see the bottom of the bezel, it'll take me a nanosecond to see if it's a gen or rep.

Tropic is hard to tell, on used are the edges from wearing rounded. But the inlay ist not gen I think, the hole for the pearl is too big.
