Authenticity check - 2005 Rolex GMT (D Serial)

Please help me authenticate this watch I found on Craigslist. Here is the text from the posting:

I’m selling my Rolex GMT master. It is keeping excellent and it’s in great condition. The serial number starts with the letter D, so it is a 2005. It has the original box and no papers. Can meet at any watch store to verify. It is priced very competitively and I’m firm.

No red flags thus far, maybe a detailed picture of the dial can help concluding.

I’m no expert, but that looks fake as hell to me.

Turns out the bezel and hands were not authentic. It was listed for $7600 but I passed on it...

Looks fake to me. Odd hour markers (dots) on the bezel are in the middle where they should be edging toward the dial.
