I'm a noob to this whole watch thing, but surely any sane person will spot this as a fake.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Patek-Philippe-Patek-Ph...

Wonky lettering
Blue screws (never used in a Patek movement I believe)
Wonky bad English engraving
Use of "&co" and odd spaced :
Claims to be WW2, but an excuse for shonky work
Basic looking movement
Serial number on movement not inner case back (which does not equate to 1940's serial numbers) - ooddly, no photo of inner case back
and too cheap to be true.

Yet they're up to £418 with 3 days to go.

I need to get myself some Chinese Pateks and make a few quid.
