Beware the 1971 home plate Monte Carlo on eBay!

Here are the flaws I pick up on. You may see more:

1) incorrect dial. Date windo cuts into minute track.
2) incorrect sub dial hands. Shape is ok but hen are polished silver center.
3) crown looks funny. Maybe the angle but maybe not.
4) case back engraving. Looks too wide.
5) bracelet. Looks ok but I think these had 80 end links which don't fit well. No date code visible either.
6) minute hand is too long and/or minute track is too far inboard.
7) date font. No serifs.

Did I miss anything?

Wow. Not the same watch shown, which appears genuine.

Perhaps a hijacked account on eBay?
