Hi there, I just received an insert from Japan and I’m not an expert on this matter would need some help. Back color seems odd or repainted maybe? It is a Japanese trusted seller and says it has been authenticated by Rolex. I add some pictures and let the community give some advice.
Thanks!

From what I've read (and I confirmed to be true for my watch) the base of the 2s in 22 should follow the curvature of the insert. In this example they seem flat and protrude outward. So that seems a bit off

I have seen many other inserts specially fat fonts with same numbers as this one. Numbers look fine to me.. it’s more of the violet back color instead of red-ish color?

The back of my original insert is unpainted (unfinished) and darkish grey so I would say fake and as said above the base of the 2's tend to follow the curve of the bezel.

Not genuine Rolex. Fake. Counterfeit. The back is totally incorrect among other tell tale signs. There should be a flat lip on the edge on back of the insert. And, check the pricing. Nice, inserts in excellent condition normally sell for between $7,000 to $9,000.

Below is a genuine fuchsia. Notice the flat lip on the outer edge.

That insert looks awful at first glance.

So, you bought an insert you admittedly aren’t familiar with and are asking for help to authenticate after the fact? I’d politely suggest posting photos before a purchase next time. Can you return it?

FAKE! The straight line base of the 2s in 22 is a dead giveaway.

In addition, to my knowledge, Rolex doesn’t “authenticate” parts, other than implicitly by servicing the watches the parts are a part of.

Yes, it's fake. Several details are incorrect, here.

Newer watch but this is the original bezel from my 16710 which isn't anodised on the reverse side.

This is true only for coke and black. Blro inserts are anodized at the back
