Is this carrera 12 genuine??? *LINK* *PIC*

Found a carrera to start my heuer collection, very new to the game and i am paranoid about buying a fake. Could you take a look at the photo's in the online album at the link i have attached and give me your opinions.

http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/philipbsmith7/album?.dir=cd74&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/philipbsmith7/my_photos

The first 3 are of the watch i am thnking of buying and 4th photo is borrowed from the "on the dash achive" as a comparisson. To me the dial looks wrong, no raised markings at 3,6 and 9 o'clock, all the others look too small and the dots of illuminious paint look too big and not uniform enough. Also the case detail around the upper button on the side looks different.

Thanks for your help
