Does this DRSD look authentic

This watch was just listed on eBay and is in my local area. Does anyone see any issues with it? Thanks in advance.

I could pick my teeth with those lugs........too thin for me. I didn't even get past the lugs that's how thin they were.

Polished lugs suck the life out of a watch like this, unfortunately.

Watch has issues...
Both lines of red print are the same size and yet it's not a correct Mk I dial.
Has a "closed 6" on the depth and yet it's not a correct Mk IV.
Has a 5.4 serial on the case back which is pushing the extreme limits for DR's. I have seen transitional DR's with round case backs with earlier serials than this.
I think you know where I am going with this.

Thanks all for the input. The guy was willing to meet but I am not going to pursue it any further.
