The Bezel numbers are way to grey for a Gen

I hope these are computer generated pics cuz the Bezel numbers on this is waaay to grey.

Take a peek at the very last pic in the box with some light on it. It is still way too grey.

Yes , not looking good : What worries me most is the serial number : This could be a "Greg's special" M64 ... as in M646829 ?

The last guy that posted his rep here trying to pawn it off as a gen had the same greyish bezel numbers. Seems like China doesn't want to put platinum powder on their bezels like Rolex does. I wonder why :).

Well my suspicions that this was a Greg's special : read the Watch out sticky , has been confirmed by the seller . I contacted him and asked him if the watch bore the famous serial number . Here is what I got back from them . We must give them credit for admitting it !

Tristan,

I can't thank you enough for email. We open and inspect 99% of all watches we purchase, but as this one was a recent serial purchased from an AD, we did not perform our usual inspection.

Yes, this bears that serial number, and of course upon closer inspection it is completely fake.

Many thanks for your watchdog efforts!

Best regards,
