That happens to be an intentional reflection of my phone. I was getting some weird shadows and light inside the store. I used the dark reflection so that the SN would show up a little better.

Admitting that I am searching for anything to support my skepticism, that's enough to write I would not bet $3,000 that the finish is original. Like most everyone else wrote, get a letter. I'd be happy if proves me wrong.
