The numerals look awful dark. I would expect a gen with platinum numbers would be a lot lighter and brighter.

But I really don't know since I've never seen a gen.

Buy the seller, not the part.
As long as you can return it if it proves to be rep, buy it.

One thing for sure... With that kind of pic, I wouldn't buy that insert.

But the numbers are correct, size and thickness good. May seem darker but then again, the black seems lighter so it may be bad lighting. The dots however are wonky cos some are big and blur, some are smaller and correct size.
Compared to my gen so that's what I can say for now.

I actually think the numbers aren´t bold enough like GEN... also, the color as mentioned is dubious, but what would immediatelly come to my mind is the fact that due to the difficulty to install the insert on the bezel, we only see them being sold as a pack, and not only the insert alone.

Anyway, as GTANAK said above, with that kind of pic, I wouldn´t buy that insert either.

Cheers,
Spirit.

Don't think its gen. The bottom part of the number '2' on a gen should be slightly curve to follow the curvature of the bezel.

Here are some pictures of my GMTc ceramic bezel... Note the curved bottom of the two.

As everyone said. Get better pictures or walk away. I say it's rep.

two other key gen indicators: the seriph on the "1" is curved and the "0" has a slight bulge to it.
the zero tell for me is the quickest and easiest to see since getting my gen bezel.

the OP's sample there is definitely a rep insert.
