Pawn shop in SF selling what seems to be a fake

Hey guys, I'm always searching on Craigslist for a good deal to add to my collection and came across this listing from a pawn shop called "gold and ice". Is this GMT master anywhere near authentic? The date looks way soo small and just the dial and bezel itself look way off as well. What do you guys think?

Junk. Also, that jubilee bracelet in the picture doesn't look like any jubilee bracelet I know of. P-U

...spoke with Ray there at Gold and Ice Jewelers. Says the watch is genuine and the bracelet is changed. Kinda obvious, and he had one of his employees pull a description of the Rootbeer from another ad on ebay. Might see some changes in his description at the very least...would hate to see someone walk away with it and get something that that is not completely what is described.

Cyclops magnification is not correct.

And the cyclops is not centered.

Actually the photos are so bad that there could be plenty more wrong with the watch, but no one could tell.
