Inquiry about what seems to be a vintage rolex day date.

Hello,
i found this watch on sale and i guess it looks legit! The only things that made me question it's authenticity are the absence of the cyclone and the unusually big crown.
So i'm willing on your help please

I would be more worried about the way the coronet on the dial overhangs the day window. But yes, the absence of a cyclops and the crown size are a couple of dead giveaways that this is 100% grade A junk.
