Do you guys think this is real or fake?

I don't care about the band itself, because I would change it anyways, but the watch itself is what I'm worried about. Thanks in advance!

I have a follow up question on this as something I noticed in the pics threw me off. I intend to contact the seller regarding this, but it appears that the movement of the watch may not be the picture of the same watch. The watch in all the other pictures has the metal mesh band where if you look at the 3rd to last pic of the movement of the watch, you will notice a black or dark brown leather band on it. Would that change your thoughts on the watch being authentic?

Edit: I also noticed that in that pic, the buttons on the side are on the opposite side as well, unless the pic was taken upside down...

no, Bill probably took that pic b4 he mounted one of his mesh straps.

movement is not so rare, the 7736 is the only movement used in the ref. 815,
I do not see anything wrong or fishy here.
