Is it a Fake?

Check out the bezel and see how it doesn't look right. Seems rather dull and coarse. Also, I've never seen stubby hour markers like that before. Other red flag is the abysmal pic quality. Also, in his f/b he sells cheaply as in 1000-1500 for a "Rolex." Buy it now $1500. Just serviced.

I checked. I see an engine turned bezel. An older tritium dial (T Swiss T) TT Date is worth maybe $1,500 in today's market. There isn't that much demand for 34mm watches nowadays, so the seller is pretty much on target with the price.
