5512 Gilt dial- authentic?

Hi
Im looking at a 5512 Gilt dial that's the sale in Germany, but Im not 100% sure it's authentic - the F doesn't look correct to me when I compare it other dials of the era.

can anyone help? This would go into a 1965 5512, I have a meters first in it now and the gilt dial would of course but the correct one for it.

Not an expert for sure, but the crown bothers me. The shape seems irregular.

Worthless fake in my eyes ....well maybe $5... but some here who admire, shall we say, 'artisan reproduction dial work' by a few people, pay £000s for one ... and tbh I don't see much difference (it's not original Rolex and is copyright breaching) - A controversial view I know, but that's how I see it !

Sorry, but I have to bump up this thread....

Look at this super crisp crownguards. Maybe they are before cutting from factory?! - Or is it a rare "Big Crownguard"-version?

Yeah. But obviously ebay´s authentification guys are "specialists" to verify such stuff.
