I think you're right, but this maybe less of an issue... If you have a look at the hue and white-balance you will find that the bronze case in the gen photo looks very S/S. This is good news because the dial colour/shade will be closer to the Gen than the pics show.
I'm going to adjust for this in lightroom when I get home. I'm hoping that the border is thicker due to the emboss. Maybe it is adding the thickness of the Numerical. With that said the number 3 is almost entirely different font, can't see the lighting conditions changing that.
Compare to gen. The dial numbers seem too skinny.
