eBay Daytona

First time posting here and hope this is all good.

Any opinions on this Daytona 116500 on eBay? I would really love to have one but this one seems to throw up red flags. I'm by far no expert on authenticating watches but this one troubles me. I'd love to hear the thoughts from you guys that are better at this than me. If it does look suspicious maybe us reporting it could save someone a serious amount of money.
Item number 21030524306

I cant post the link because I'm a noobie on here.

1.) Appears to have dust or pieces of human tissue on the dial
2.) The 6th picture, the rivet on the clasp is not tight. Its not a flush rivet but i haven't seen one that does not make contact with the clasp. Appears loose.
3.) Same picture screw holes for adjustable links do not look uniform
4.) This is a grail watch for many of us. This guy chose to not keep the original box, hang tags, or warranty card? Even if you bought out of the USA and were attempting to walk through customs wearing it you would still keep the hang tags and the warranty card I feel like. You may leave the box in the Bahamas ;-)
5.) Seller is discouraging people in the trade. He feels it should go directly to a collector. Seems this would bypass someone that could authenticate it.
6.) eBay proudly advertises "shop with confidence money back guarantee" on every listing. However the seller is only accepting bank wired funds which do not qualify for eBay's buyer protection and he offers no refund.

Let me know your thoughts guys. Hopefully if you see what I see and can write a convincing report to eBay in only a few characters we can save someone the headache, grief, and embarrassment of getting stuck with something that is not as advertised.

If you feel this is on the up and up I may step up and bid on this item.
