Rolex 5512 Gilt Offered

Aside from the incorrect bezel insert, can anyone spot a red flag specially on the dial? The owner states that its from 1960 and i am just waiting for a picture of the inner back case, the reference and serial numbers. Your comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Need clearer photos of dial and lume plots / fonts. Clear photos of serial / engravings. Be cautious but keep chasing this piece, could be a great find after a little work.

For my own education, what did you see wrong with the dial to conclude it’s a fake? Thanks.
