Icon5 Any chance it's real? (Submariner eBay Find)

I got what I think is probably a pretty good price on an eBay auction even if the watch in question *is* fake, but I figured on the off chance that it could be real I'd ask the experts.

The face says Submariner and appears to have all the right markings except for one, probably crucial, detail. The spots (that I assume are luminous on most submariners) at each hour are missing. Here's a link to a picture:

Any thoughts? Is this just a less common/early model, or am I right in my assumption that it's just a bad fake?

I should have the watch in hand on Thursday. If I'm wrong and there's a chance that it's real even with that face, what else should I look for to confirm its authenticity?

It looks home made out of scavenger parts from other makes.

The link isnt working .. How could you have gotten a good deal even if the watch is fake? .. Buying a fake is never a good deal

The link is dead and this looks like another post that is going nowhere fast. There is no joy in buying a fake which it likely is.

Close the post it before it gets stinky.

That statement makes no sense what so ever!? If you got a deal good enough even if its a fake that means you didn't pay near what a real Submariner would go for. Lol

I'm no expert but even I know after looking at that picture it's fake as can be.
