116710BLNR... Take a look
A friend of mine asked me if I could help him authenticate this. He was told it has a replacement bezel that isn't genuine. All the letters seem to line up perfectly, but the font looks off, at the time time after googling I've seen other photos with this font, unless I'm seeing photos of watches that aren't real.

Ask yourself would anyone who owns a BLNR have a shoddy generic bezel replacement? The engraved 6 is a mess. There are numerous things that don't cut the mustard on that thing. How much did your buddy fork over for it? Out of curiosity.

Thanks for the help everyone! Luckily he hasn't actually purchased it yet, so I'll advise him to steer clear!
