ebay item help fake or real?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Explorer-I...item2eb1249cfa

Rolex Explorer II Dial 1655 in the Original Package

This just doesn’t look right to me. Can I get your opinion on this listing is this real or fake?
I have asked seller and he says it is 100% original and Authentic and has never been refinished.

I think the Rolex crown is too close to the triangular 12 marker and the "Explorer II" font is wrong, particularly the II which seems larger.

That's what I thought triangular 12 marker way too large and close to crown. No match to any of the dials listed above.

Thanks,

IMO fake or refinished.

Few things not matching up for a T Swiss T dial. Noticeably the position of the "X" in Explorer" under the "ER" in Oyster is totally out.
