I've seen two types of bezels, one with the yellow numbers as shown here:

and one that is only ss coloured, as shown in this example below:

Okay, so my watch is close in colour to the 2nd pic. Should I go ahead and color in the bezel markers yellow? Or should I leave it alone.

I've seen both examples on gens (Notwithstanding the first pic I showed, as that watch looks suspect in terms of its authenticity)

There's something like 4 or 5 different bezel insert types for the SM300. Regarding color, the safest bet is to have the insert numerals match the lume on the dial. However, there are examples of gens (with all-original parts) on which the lume doesn't match.
