    Hello all,
    I’m interessed in this DON Bezel but I would like to really know if it’s a good one and not a fake.

    Many thanks!

    Sébastien

    What do your eyes tell you when you compare it to, say, this one ... ?

    A brief perusal of this thread says it's okay. You should spend some time in that thread, though, to be sure.

    I don't like the looks of it, but I'm having a hard time distinguishing between poor printing on the bezel and poor quality of the image.

    I agree with Dan. The picture quality makes it hard to say with certainty. My eye is drawn to the 110 and the 225. Both numbers show irregularities in size. Could be the blurriness but the dots look a little large. I vote suspect? but uncertain.

    I think we would need a clearer photo to give you a better idea.

    Thanks for your comments gentlemen.
    I know that the picture is crappy and I have asked a picture with the sun. I will have it tomorrow, so let’s wait a little bit to be sure.

    Don't like the 80 position , the 5 of 225 and the last 0 of 100 - enough to make me look elsewhere.

    And so have all the lowlife forgers out there... No offence, I know all the above points are readily available with a quick google, but seeing such blatant fakes, produced with the sole intention of lifting the leg of some poor bugger who isn't as clued up as perhaps they should be, really makes my blood boil! Grrrrrrrr.... Rant over.

    Totally agree with you. The guy told me he bought it 3 years ago on eBay. He sells it 200€.

    It is a fake bezel. The numbers are to far from the edge.

    Following @eugeneandresson advice my immediate impression was that the numbers and letters just seem a bit off.
    Of course it could just be my eyes!

    Just seen your last post, if it’s 200€ it’s a fake.

    You have your answer but @SouthernScot hit the nail on the head, the price alone should raise alarm bells.
