Worst scam attempt ever?

I was perusing craigslist, and found this little gem: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/jwl/d/larkspur-rolex-watch/7344590968.html

Now, I'm very new to this, but this looks like just about the worst rep ever. Am I wrong? Perhaps the person posting this is using such an obvious fake to eliminate anyone who will be able to tell the difference? Or maybe I am wrong, and this is one of the unfortunate bad eggs every company puts out from time to time?

What makes you think it's a bad egg? The slack links? The endlink gaps? This used to happen on rolex bracelets until they started using ceramic pins and solid end links.
Otherwise looks like a classic vintage Date. Not for me, but plenty of gents here would give their right testicle for that watch.
