Real or fake double red sea dweller?

Just saw this one on ebay:

http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Rolex-Oyster-...#ht_554wt_1344

The engravings make me feel suspicious about the authenticity of the case. Dial looks too good for age and L of Rolex is not completely in the middle under the crown as it should be on this variant of the dial.

What do you think?

They look reingraved, but that does not mean by itself that it's a fake.

Even if it's real, are they even his/her pictures?

It looks okay to me but I'm no vintage expert.
I'd be cautious to buy from that seller though...not much of a selling history.
