Need some help from the Rolex experts out there

Hi all,

I'm buying a Rolex watch as a gift for someone however I know nothing about watches, especially Rolex, so I'd like some experts to help by giving me answers to some questions I have about an eBay listing.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160960667...84.m1438.l2649

1. First of all, what's the possibility of this watch being a fake?

2. The listing has been running for a few days, is $1,500 not a good deal for this model? It looks to be in quite good condition, I would have thought that such a watch would've been snapped up already.

Watch looks ok and real the price is to high 1200-1300 is about right it's a manual wind not automatic and the case does not look that mint, dial looks resprayed and its pretty old.

Yeah, almost 60 years old! Older than me!

It's the real deal for sure.
