Don't quite understand your assumption that because the font is "fat" on the date wheel makes the watch a build or fake.
Datejusts and Rolex in general has the longest history of different font sizes, texts, text positions, etc. I've seen multiple examples of "fatter" text on datejusts. It's probably consistant with the age and era of the watch.

To the OP: What year? or whats the approx. serial number of the watch?
The piece is beautiful especially with the wideboy hands. Don't forget the Datejusts in particular were meant to be a piece that shines and dress up during the 60s and 70s. Light polishing / polishing in general was very common back then. I won't worry too much about it unless it has significantly worn (lugs) or badly polished.
I think I've seen these pictures before and judging by fellow members comments, the dealer/seller should be reputable.
