Is this watch authentic? Bubble looks crooked

Hey guys,
I just inherited my first rolex and I have not even got it back yet and I am thinking about buying another one. I was looking on ebay and found a sub but it seems like the "bubble" is crooked... Here is the link. Look at the last picture.

Also I am so scared of getting a counterfeit or frankenwatch, does paypal cover fake watches?

If you are talking about the cyclops it could be the angle. At that price consider buying one from a trusted seller here on TRF. Goodluck!

The crystal needs to be lined up better. It does appear a little crooked.

The watch is good and real.
When the camera is too good it does tend to show better than "live" angles that our eyes can't capture.

No, I think the bubble is "off".

Doesn't mean the watch is a fake, tho; it's used and the crystal could have been replaced off-center.
