Fake Sub Date 16610 on eBay - Please Flag

Hi everyone. I'm a newer user here and have limited experience with Rolexes. I have, however, done enough reading to be reasonably confident I've spotted a fake.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190625315159...#ht_500wt_1158

1) Size/proportion of crown guards appears to be off
2) Odd bluish hue
3) Serial number starts with a 6...16610 did not exist in 1980.
4) GIVEAWAY: Model number 16613 on stainless steel sub.
5) GIVEAWAY: Dial looks terrible. Coronet is off, font is off, all around bad.
6) Clasp is one link too short
7) Just plain fake.
8) Ugh. Fake.
9) Please, terrible fake.

Once again, I am far from an expert. However, as far as I can tell this is a bad fake for which someone is about to spend over $3k. Please flag. Also, if any of my observations are wrong please let me know so I can learn a bit more about the 16610.
