Help - Real or Fake?

Supposed to be a circa 2001 model
Looking for opinions if it looks like a fake, so I can return it?

More pictures to come
Thanks!

I believe the Maxi dial was introduced later than 2001.

The dial doesn't look centered to me. The ticks touch the case on one side but are a good distance away on the other side. Could be the angle as im no expert. Can someone confirm if this is correct?

Bezel insert looks flat (not shiny at all).
