Another possible fake?

Afternoon friends,
First time poster here, and already asking the big questions!
Found this on eBay, I'm suspect, but I offer it to the experts
Now first things first, no papers, no band, poor photos and a seller with no listing. But nothing there that definitely points to a fake, just to be wary of.

Wrong font on the bezel for two.

I mean, really. If we can spot it from one out-of-focus picture, it's a seriously bad fake.

No point pointing out what is wrong. There's nothing that is right on that watch.
