Legit OPD?

I've never seen caseback stamped "stainless steel"?

I think this smells, am I wrong?

If you read the advert and the answers to the questions ( in Finish ), the seller says that it is a proper for its age watch, of little use, with a non original but still real leather band, working properly and it is a genuine Rolex but not in gold. He turned down some offers of E 700-800.

Sorry, not more than those, I suspect my Greek are better than my Finish (Suomi).

So, let the experts speak !!

I know they used to stamp it on the ladies models at one time. Not sure about the men's models.

"Stainless Steel" case back stamping is correct for a ref. 15505.

Here are several for sale:
