That is the case with anything "genuine", you pay extra. Genuine is a very expensive word. I remember a tv current affairs show in the early '90's, they looked at an ignition part for a Ford Falcon that was about five years old, the Bosch replacement was a little over $90, the "genuine" Motorcraft (Ford spare part), which was made by Bosch was $180. Makes you wonder why you would bother with genuine spare parts.

..yeah, i have three bearing distributors i deal with on a professional level...

..we have one machine that uses the same bearing that goes on locomotive axels.....

..generally, bearings will have a identification number stamped or etched on it's outer race...

..that number can be easily cross-referenced to any brand..

..in my experience, Timken bearings are the best...
