Please look at the 6, that should be straight not curved.

Box could be real but looks much older than the style sold with the SO.

I think there has been at least two different styles of bezel numerals on this model, as the above pictures illustrate - one with square external corners and an earlier version of with radiusing on the external corners. Unlike the fake, I think both versions have squared internal conrers though. I look for radiusing inside the 6 and 0 digits as a telltale for the fake.

Very good - thanks for this information, I did not know about looking at inside the 6 and 0, very good info.
