Dear respectable members,
I just got an offer from local supplier. I think it is a redial, however I would like your second opinion.
Also what do you think about the movement condition? I am suspicious to different color of the rotor and bridges.

Dial looks original but cleaned. Case is ok. Movement is shabby. Unless the price is low, I would avoid.

Yes, I think I will pass. The offer is not too low, at around USD 2700

Is it normal for earlier dial to miss the MOY test?

Price is too high. And the dial looks ok with the MOY test.

Wrong crown as well, surely. The movement looks horrible compared to my 354, and the hands look wrong to me - aren't they too blunt at the ends?

Yes, all of the hands are incorrect generic replacements.

Yes, as if all 3 were clipped. Maybe an OCD dog groomer owned it and trimmed it's nails.
