It's a fake. And a bad one at that. Look at the logo on the face and thebsquare in the middle of the dial.

Ring the guy and find out, but yes, I'd day it's too good to be true.

Maybe not a fake, but bad photos (all B01 fakes have sunken date wheel and shorter 3,6,9, marks).
Wouldn't think of buying it without better photos and proof that the seller owns it.

I agree with Bnewbie - I don't think it's fake, I just think it's a bad picture. I also agree with with Bnewbie that I'd want far better pictures before parting with cash, but the seller says he welcomes people to view it in person. Could be real steal for someone in Scotland.

i dono, the sub dials arent split like they are supposed to be with the different patterns, the square looks funny to me too. i dont like it

I would say real but a bad pic.

If it's a fake then it's a 2nd generation one that hasn't surfaced before - that date wheel looks perfect.

Real for me.

My call is real. Sharkmouth posted a pic of a fairly good B01 fake the other week but the date font was out on that one. Another thing I noted on Sharky's reference fake was that the etched numbers on the bezel were running off the edge, but they look properly positioned on this one.

Edit: Here's Sharmouth's posting -
