ROLEX-SUBMARINER-6204-thoughts?

I came across this Ref 6204, and it looks a little suspect!
can anyone give me their opinion, seems there are a lot of
anomalies with this one. Apologies if this post should be in watch out section.

Looks iffy to me, but there are far more knowledgeable people than me on here who will give you the benefit of their expertise.

I had a good feeling it was dodgy, i had a look at a reputable Vintage seller who had the same reference for sale and compared it to this ebay watch, it may be genuine, but what a hard life this watch has had, look at the crown its almost worn off and what on earth did they do dial!

That is a terrible example, the dial is completely destroyed and it's not even the original dial!!

Like the add says .. the case (or what is left of it ) the bezel (what is left of it ) and movement ( again what is left of it ) is original . Pay that money for what ? pay twice as much to find the rest of the parts only to end up with a poor quality watch .
