Authentic watches 'fake' all of their photos - they create dial and case combinations that don't exist on a fairly regular basis so that's what they have done here.

Why would they do that? Doesn't that make it franken?

Pretty sure that messing around in Photoshop doesn't do anything to the watch.

So if you buy that watch, the bezel will not look like that?

The watch pictured doesn't exist. AW (and many grey market dealers) sell watches that they don't have so they mock up photos for listings and then try to fulfill the order from the ADs that they deal with. If you buy that you will get the watch described (assuming that they can get one through their AD network).
