Genuine Bezel on 16610 Sub...your opinion?

Hello experts. I picked up a 16610 a couple of months ago for a song. Overall, it is in great shape, but has obviously been polished. Keeps excellent time, have had the movement inspected (cursory for authenticity), and had it pressure tested. One question I have is whether or not the bezel that is on it - along with the insert - are authentic...I didn't have any reservations when I bought it, but this is also the first sub I have ever personally owned. The bezel feels sharp and crisp, however, the divots or grooves appear to be more "broad" and closer together than what I have seen in some other photos from similar and/or exact models.

I have provided some images below, first of my watch (which is a D-Serial), and followed by some comp images of other sub bezels (these images start with the green LV sub). Please let me know your thoughts? If it is not authentic, what is the cost to replace both the insert and the retainer ring?
