Relumed dial? Worse?

Hi all
Here is this drsd for sale.
I keep comparing the dial to real ones, it seems to me like a mk2. Something feels off with the indexes, is it from a bad relume ? Any chance it could just be the crystal?
Trying to educate myself here

Thanks!

I was too focused on the dial...

Not much looks original, we need to see movement and engraving between the lugs
Dial is terrible

I can’t manage to paste the link from my eBay app...It ended at 17k€

I saw the insert was fake but didn’t see evidence the dial was. The indexes look sluggish though...that’s why I thought bad relume. Is it completely fake?
Thanks for the answers!

Case is garbage, as is everything else besides the movement (which could very well be frankened).
