Yes it does look a bit small, but that can sometimes happen depending on the camera angle.
It could also be a replacement aftermarket crystal.
The dial, hands and bezel/pearl look ok for the vintage.
The case sides look a little shallow, which is probably a camera issue too.
It is very hard to see when the pics are not supersize.

the case looks ok...the mag doesn' bother me that much...but the cyclops does look a bit crooked in the first shot...almost seems like there is more than one watch being photoghraphed...

May be all camera angle...or maybe, Steve, you've just made us all paranoid...

you know what they say,your not paranoid if they really are after you!
trust me these con artists are after your money,so you have to be paranoid about every watch you dont buy from an AD!
p.s.-if I was a scammer I would take it to a place like youbid(its an ebay drop off center)that way the seller has plenty of feedback and they(youbid) cannot check everything out that gets dropped off.

I don't think Steven the cyclops issue is camera angle, should fill the area more vertically when magnified, and "aftermarket crystal" would make me real nervous w/o more info...R
