Pvd/Dlc Submariner on EBay

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and must say I am impressed by the amount of knowledge offered with unexpected friendliness. I thank you guys in advance. So here's the deal, lost my 16610 and I am looking to replace it. It is ment to be a daily watch and my job is not a desk job. This watch will b banged around, wet, dirty etc. Therefore the appeal towards a DLC watch. I do understand that Rolex will not service the watch but I trust I can find (here) a proper place to send it when time comes. I have priced similar watches from Time & Gems but at that price point I rather buy a new one with original parts, warranty etc. So I found this one on EBay (which seems like a bad idea already, right?)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...t_10337wt_1081

So I would value all opinions, let me have it. Am I stupid for wanting a Franken-watch with poss non original parts? No service history, not even history and quality on the DLC....Is this even a reputable/trusted seller?!?

Fake bezel. I'd avoid this one.

IMHO, no PVD - get a watch head and go with a NATO

That was my original choice until I came across PVD. Thinking of a no date Sub 14060.
