Look at the crown guards. Way too small. I thought the same thing but after I saw that I figured if the case isn't real and the dial isn't real I would guess that the movement isn't real.

Crown guards look OK from here, just over-polished as mentioned. If you look at the lug-holes you can see that the case has been abused by the buffing wheel, lol...

Popping the case back and having a look at the movement (in person) would be mandatory IMO. If the movement checked out, it still wouldn't be something I'd pursue personally, especially given the fact that the seller thinks it's a $10k watch.
Even if you got a decent deal on it, and sourced an original dial and bezel insert, you can't "unpolish" the case. YMMV...
