Red experts needed

I've talked to the seller but wanted some expert opinions thanks Matt http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT |

I am no expert, however the L does not look properly centered under the crown and the hands don't match the patina of the dial. But if I am right about the L you definitely want to run away from this one.

Where can I start? Too much to list!! I dont like the dial, the case is polished down and has no sharpness or edge, the case back is wrong etc. etc. It is not a watch I would give even a second look at. Again-Pass in a big way!

Remember I prefaced this with I am no expert, and I could be wrong. However if Ken says walk away, then your best to walk away.

The band is about seven years newer than the watch and the box is not original either. The seller is incorrect in stating they are original. The watch does not appear to be in bad shape for it's age, but I don't care for watches being sold with supposed original parts that are not even close to being original. When I see this, especially on a higher end watch, it makes me wonder where the seller is getting his information and what else is not correct.
