Icon5 Please cast an expert eye over this eBay Datejust

Hi guys, can someone have a look at this DJ and see if anything looks off?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Oyst...item19d8d6388f

I'm concerned with the date magnification (and the font also) does it look right? Also does the dial look refinished?

Any advice would be appriciated.

Thanks.

The watch dial is original,it is not refinished, called a wide boy dial, replacement hands. There date looks ok, maybe an aftermarket glass hence the mag concern, it could be just a bad angle, common on an older watch, it can easily be changed if necessary. You should be more concerned with the corrosion in the midcase, under the seal, I doubt it could be waterproofed without expensive laser welding. There are better examples imho :beer:

I just noticed it says model 1600 which should have a smooth polished bezel
