Here is an overlay. "Can't see the forest through all the trees" always feels like an appropriate saying for trying to understand bezels (dial, anything really). Each marker set can look enough like what you see in references when focusing on any one number set, or feature. The size of the font, where the dot is in relationship, etc. It becomes overtly clear when you see relationships of everything matched up.

This one is known and pretty obvious due to the sizes of the numbers. They are much too small in most places.
Based on your overlay, is it totally central? Or is the bezel slightly narrower? I’m observing the bottom edge being lower on the “proper” bezel compared to the one on the watch itself. As such, the numbers would naturally be smaller. Maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks for your reply and explanation. The overlay really helped me to see the difference. As you mentioned, I was focused on the dots and fonts and therefore couldn't spot it.

Anyhow, although I was aware of the AM, I'm still fully satisfied. At the age of 58, you really need a loupe to notice such details.

Thanks again for taking the time to prepare the overlay and explain it so clearly. It is much appreciated.
