Autavia 11630 Bezel & Crystal

I am trying to help a friend figure out if the bezel on his 11630 Autavia is original. To my knowledge, the crystal should be flush with the bezel, but the crystal on his Autavia sticks up approximately 0.5mm. The edges of the bezel also appear to have a beveled lower edge, something that might be correct or maybe not.

The top photo shows his Autavia and the bottom one is mine. Both are 11630's.

Are these bezels both correct? Is the slightly protruding crystal anything to worry about?

Thanks!
