It might just be your pics, but the colour of the writing on the dial is wrong - even for vintage models.  The markers don't look right, and the colour is off for vintage.  The dimples on the bezel don't have the right profile.  That crown screams fake.  The hands are not right.
As Oscar suggested, check the numbers and then pop the hood. If you can't do that, ask a watchmaker to put it on a timing macine. (if it runs.)  I bet the movement is ticking at less than the required 28800 bph.
 I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed with this one.  Somehow I hope I'm wrong....
Do keep us posted.
