I could be wrong, but does this case back inscription look legitimate to you?

I am no expert, but to me it looks pretty wonky...look at the legs on the A from Apollo...but still right in format/layout? Could the inscription have been reduced by over-polishing the case-back?

This is one from Fratello in an article by RJB for comparison:

Totally legit. The first few had this thin engraving, sometime later changed to a wider engraving with a laquer filling

I would have never guessed! Looking at just the quality of the engraving in the first picture, I was convinced this can't be factory made engraving on a gold watch. I'd still feel better to see the inside of the caseback to make sure everything looks alright there.
