Man, the watch is legit. Nothing wrong here.

Yes, the cyclop is not the best, its a faulty batch from rolex. There are multiple datejusts, subs and gmts with that flaw. but the watch is indeed authentic.

Anyone purchasing "that" watch on those photos and your advice would be crazy!

You came to your conclusion from those pictures how?

Nothing jumps out as being fake, but the pics are just too small to make a solid determination. Regarding the date mag, there were (are?) some cyclops issues as previously mentioned. How a date-mag window looks can also be a function of distance and focal-length of the camera lens. I can take two pictures of the same watch and have the date window look significantly different in each one, just by changing the zoom and/or distance from the camera.
