Is this Patek for real?
Hi everybody.
I am a luxury watch newbie (I have owned citizen eco drives and one breitling) but I don't really know anything about watches.
I saw this Patek Philippe on ebay and it looked too good to be true. Could you guys help me out by telling me what you think regarging the watch's authenticity. And if you do see things wrong, could you write them so that I can be aware in the future?
Thank you so much! The image link is posted below:

FX, that´s maybe the key reason ...
why people like you & me spent so much time on luxury items and the story behind. At least it is a good reason to do so ...

the strap is fake, the back has writing on it...
that a real PP would not have. the movement is wrong. the front of the case is wrong in proportion and design. the case, pamphlet and hang tag are not correct. fake fake fake. these are things you pick up when you see enough real PP's.
if you need to ask if a Patek is real or not...it means it is not
...because a Patek will always come with a traceable history and not come up from nowhere..... in my opinion a Patek should only be bought from an AD or a serious dealer and a clear history on that watch. Even "real" vintage patek on ebay are often modified (e.g replaced some movement parts, non-original case or dial) making them worth considerably less (if anything).
