Wow, I never realised there is an engraving on the crystal. That's pretty cool. Thanks for the pics!

Excellent photos!
I am not sure but could you check material composition as well, or do you need some cut-ups for that?
It could be very easy to compare let's say genuine bezel insert material with fake ones.

I can tell the difference between an aluminum bezel and a ceramic. I could also compare a genuine aluminum to a possible fake to see if it is the same alloy. not sure if i could tell fake ceramic from real unless i had a real one to use as a standard.

That was really awesome to see! Thanks. I feel like all the macro shots I see in videos are to make Rolex look sloppy and these pics were the opposite. Much appreciated.

Great pics!

Question- the 250 micron photo, with the dark/light/dark. What is that?

It is a higher magnification image of what you see in the one above it. It is the printing on the bezel. If you look at the 50, you will see it is dark and light as well. It is a difference in the anodized layer. Does this answer your question?
