It was either a hacked account (not likely), a fake (not likely, pics look ok but I'm far from an expert. Hands do look off to me though) or a typo (seller with 'Horology Collector' as name and almost 1k feedbacks selling a 30k+ watch for 12,5k). I think the latter given the fact that the watch is NLA.

It's had a new dial but 12.5k still seems cheap

That watch is fake, only the movement and possibly the band is genuine. I emailed him back and forth to tell him and he was very rude.

The fact he was rude, says it all.

I guess you're right, he told me to stop wasting his time because his rolex guy said it was ok.. Then accused me of being connected to some seller from china "like that guy from Australia", made no sense to me but I did take the time to break it all down for him, I described each fake part to him and why I believed they were fake, I politely told him to get a second opinion at the very least. No response at that point, now it's unlisted, good riddance.

This watch is 100% FAKE - Trust me guys don't bother. I could have bought this watch for 4.5k via Ebay last year and didn't coz it is fake. I reported it to ebay and they removed the listing - and even though someone seem to win it a few days later... They too did not go ahead and buy the item - hmm. In truth you can't even buy a genuine 6538 for 12.5k. and if you could some of the bigger sharks would have snapped it up before we even see it for sale. I have seen these watches at the Burlington Arcade in London without the original strap sell for over £30,000 – sounds to good to be true… always is!!!
