How does is GMT look to you?

Had met a gentlemen selling this yesterday and it appeared that the thing was genuine however the date refused to change so I'm thinking there was something wrong with the 1128 movement. The time was set to safe date change hours (not between 8pm and 2am) but using the hour hand jumping it simply would not change the date to the 6th. Then I tried the the long way with the 24h hand going all the way around past 12 multiple times. Afterwards I checked photos from the listing and the date was still at the 5th so it hasn't changed since he listed for sale. The serial engraving looked a little shallow but the dial and other details looked perfect. How does it look to you?

Looks correct to me...albeit a bit polished....but hard to be 100% sure how good the case is from these pictures with the crown out.

I ended up meeting again and I was confident it was not a replica. Opened it up with a soft ball my kids had in the basement ;) The movement has an anti-magnetic dust cover which I was not expecting, I thought it was a fake at first then after some reading I popped it off to find the beautiful 1128 resting inside. Watch maker says the date wheel needs fixing but he going to have it ready in a few days. I get a reduced price for my trouble so I am happy.
