Seamaster 300 caseback - good or fake?

Hello, I have this caseback and I'm not sure that may be the right one. I'm concerned about the letter "A" from "waterproof" word. I know that must be flat on top, in this case is not so flat like I saw on other models but also is not so "pointy". Did these engraves were made by workers hands or by machines? If there were made by human hands I believe that may exist small variations. Please help me with your opinions. Thank you, Valentin.

Oh look someone else with fake SM300 parts. I am beginning to think that model is cursed.

Outside engraving looks okay until you notice how it was done... Then, it is without question, modern fake.

Good to know. Surprisingly I've bought it from a friend within a lot with other very good parts like Zenith and Universal Geneve chronograph movements or Omega original dials, from a large lot that he acquierd personal from Switzerland. The fakes are everywere unfortunately.

He may have been fooled as well. First glance, and the internal stamping, it looks pretty good. But under magnification (or on a big monitor) it is obvious. To me at least it is.

The common/known "tell" is the shape of the "A" on the caseback, which looks good. But that's not the reason I dismiss this caseback.

This caseback was insignificant in that lot. Most important is that, wiith your help I've been able to identify as a fake. I've been on ebay seller from 2009 and never sold a fake watch or part like this. So this caseback is already on the trash.
