vintage GMT - real or fake?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-ROLEX-G...item419a2204f1

I'm not interested in this one, but if it were closer, I'd probably make the drive.

The claim is that it was his father's watch and the vintage box helps the story.

So experts? Real? Fake?

Almost looks too nice......the underside of the case just doesn't appear to have been worn much at all. Ya know how the underside of the case gets when oil from our wrist and wearing back and forth? This one looks almost new to me. Otherwise it looks perfectly legit. I say real just well cared for.

Referring to the case itself, not the case back. I think it's all legit it just wasn't worn all that much.

What about in the fourth picture, the underside of the clasp?? Looks like it has its finished stripped off, like it's not a stainless finish.

Is it just me, am I crazy?
