Is this an aftermarket dial?

A friend of mine was gifted this watch. I am trying to help them decipher what model it is and if this is an aftermarket dial. (They do not live near me and they aren't comfortable taking the bracelet off to find the reference number between the lugs).

It's an 'Oyster Perpetual Date' with a holes case. So obviously it's an older model, my best guess is a 15200. The only thing is, I can't find a 15200 with this pink color dial anywhere. I am guessing it is aftermarket.

Can anyone help confirm the model reference? And if you happen to know if this dial color was available for the model?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, dial is not original. Something doesn’t look right about the date wheel as wheel

Caseback height/depth and width of knurl look odd on that photo tbh.

Definitely, yes. The rest looks off to me as well. Either a complete fake or a total hodgepodge of parts thrown together. Id pass if I were in your shoes.

Dial is a total fake and the rest of it is definitely not copasetic.

Kind of curious if the rest is real or if the whole thing is fake. I agree that the caseback does look odd.

I’m leaning towards it’s all a bit fake
