This Datejust looks off

Saw this beauty on eBay. What do you experts think, I’m thinking of reporting but want to make sure I’m right.

LOL, no.

It's had the dial re-done/replaced and has been fitted with an aftermarket strap/deployant buckle. Otherwise, it's fine.

He might have . . .

. . . purchased it in 2010, but it looks to me like it's got an acrylic crystal, which makes the watch about 40 years old.

Add that to the over-zealous polishing of the case and bezel, and you've got an old watch, vastly over-priced and amateurishly restored.
