Sure if you use the search facility here on the forum you will find many threads and posts related to spider dials and the Rolex 16803 .

At first glance I can not see anything wrong with the watch being offered on Ebay . ?

It is an original 16803 Sub transit 9million serial...the dial is not spider..just
a cracked dial from the hot Aussie sun...Price (?)...he has high hopes with
his AUS 6600 price.... this is at best 4500 AUS dollar watch

I just sold to a guy from Oslo Norway - also at ebay - a superb Rolex Sub 16613
w black dial (just back from a full service) for $4800 US

Very true

Spider dial is sellers point of view ... for the buyer it is only a cracked dial

Things are always appreciated in one way or the other depending you are selling or buying .

This fault in dial making - is acceptable and we have such a thing as a genuine
spider dial but a lot more distinct than the dial in question.
A spider dial has value when the cracks are much smaller... present in the
entire dial and indeed create the illusion of a spider's net or close to it.
In this sub... there are a few long cracks with exposed metal - no spider net here

No doubt , and I'm 100% with you in saying the dial we have here can't be considered anything other then a cracked dial and not a spider .
I have personally held a 5513 with a real spider dial . It has a certain charm and has nothing to do with what we see here .
Not that I would pay extra for a spider dial myself .

Not a spider dial. Just a TT sub that needs a very good service.
I think the seller is dreaming on the price as well. LOL
