is it an original or an aftermarket DON bezel ?

some time ago I was able to distinguish the fakes bezels.
but I have the impression that now they copy the original parts better and better. this is likely to continue as long as there is interest in increasingly rare pieces.

I admit that I no longer manage to differentiate certain copies and I would like to have your opinion on this model https://www.chrono24.fr/omega/lunette-145012105012-omega-speedmaster-321-don--id22012599.htm

what troubles me is the rendering of the zoom on the chrono24 page when you hover the pointer over the photo compared to the actual size photo opened separately.


if I only have the photo I would say that the bezel is maybe a real one.
But with chrono24's zoom, the handwriting is so fine and the emphasis of "È" seems so atypical that I would reconsider this opinion.
this is the 1st time that I notice such a difference between the zoom effect and the original photo.

What do you think about this ?

I think it looks good...honest, worn, with enough nicks. Plus the rim overlapping some of the numbers ... can't say I have seen that on fakes. Just jedi senses and gut feeling (without doing any homework) => I may be wrong.

the seller took a better photo, and I have no doubts about the authenticity of the piece 👍

I think this one is heavily priced. Is it reserved for you?
