But by normal human standards he looks great.
That's the problem. Normal human standards don't apply to
vampires
. He was so clearly older, and fatter (which is hardly suprising - I'm older and fatter than I was when Buffy began) that I agree it was starting to be a bit jarring

Yeah, the fact that he breathed was really annoying, too. Broke the fourth wall with every exhale.

And yet, still less jarring to me than just how much of his age Marsters was showing there at the end. (I appear to have an easier time fanwanking chubby cheeks than I do crow's feet.)
Both of them aged more than SMG, ironically enough. Although it didn't really bother me, since I knew they were actors and so bound to change a bit. I could pretty much ignore it, like the breathing and the lame CGI.
Let us just be thankful that neither Spike nor Angel was canonically vampirized at age 17, and thus an era of
really
bad Dawson's Creek elderly-teenager jokes were avoided.

Makes sense, tho. JM went from 36 to 44, while DB was 28 when Buffy started, and 37 when it ended. These are the ages when time really starts to show.

Hey, get off my lawn!

Dang. That's why I'm starting to look so old. And wow! I never would have guessed that JM was older than DB. How horrible is it that I didn't know this already.
