Do these parts for the 116710LN look gen?

Wow... I can't comment on them being Gen or not but if they were, that there is the ultimate Franken kit.

The dial paint looks weird... Note the thickness of the paint, the squareness of the markers & the shape of the date window. Is this how a Gen dial looks without a crystal covering it? I've never seen one IRL without a crystal covering it.
The bezel looks a bit dirty... Not sure what to think but the numbers look creamy to me. The hands? Not idea.

Someone should chime in soon and tell you one way or the other for sure.

I was thinking exactly along those lines! Thank you so much for your input mate.

Excellent point about the dial looking different under a crystal as compared to without.

Aye, it would be a dream franken kit. But the bezel and dial and hands seem off to me. Indeed, more perspectives needed.

1) One dial has a thin GMT green font like GMF, and the indices look creamy (link above)

2)Another has bolder GMT font like gen (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/223297966202)

4) GMF

Both are being listed as gen

I'm guessing the first eBay link parts aren't genuine?
