Thanks for your answers https://cda.chronomania.net/forum_entry ... 42#p224842 Looks pretty clean but unpolished and unmolested, although the one side picture is completely out of focus, so ask for better photos. Main chrono hand looks like it has not reset properly in two of the front-on pictures, but that could just be parallax error. The big thick strap is awfully mismatched for such a delicate watch IMHO, but that is easily changed. |

Thanks very much for your detailed answer ! The "very clean" (too clean ?) dial was a question for me... |

Is the caseback incorrect? It says ‘stainless steel’. I thought this meant the caseback was for gold or gold plated watches? Perhaps others could confirm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

In fact, it looks quiet consistent with this one currently available in the US. I think it is a pretty honest watch (edit: noting we haven’t seen the movement or sides) |

Thanks for your answers https://cda.chronomania.net/forum_entry ... 42#p224842 I wouldn’t bet on the markers not having been redone, but only a high resolution picture can tell. The one linked to further down is definitely ok. Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

Thanks very much for these analysis. The watch seems pretty clean, then. I will go back to the seller and try an offer... |

I asked for high resolution picture, these are absolutely not. Still can’t make the final call, but you have to ask yourself.: Why are the markers so incredible clean, while there’s a lot of wear to the center of minute & hour counter, and why have the hourhand been repainted (at least it looks like that imo) Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

Personally I think it’s fine. You can see the lume has receded from the edges if the white dial paint underneath them. Can’t really get that look with a relume, only happens over time. Regarding the wear to the hands, looks to me like the watch has suffered at the hands of a shitty watchmaker not protecting the finish when they are pulled off for service. The affected areas are not a part of the watch that suffer any actual wear from use, so I can’t think of any other explanation. |

Thanks Kurt and Dave ! These pictures are the best quality the seller can provide with his cell phone... What you say, Dave, about the lumes is what I noticed: the thin white line around them, by retraction of the fresh applied lume. I haven’t seen it on the post-market reluming... Very hard to judge this dial that appeals me much... |
