165.024 BT + Baton hand

[cqing]

Hello fellows, I saw this watch in very good condition, although there is a crack on the bezel. Everything seems legit to me, but I have a feeling that the case is over polished, without being able to tell a reason. What do you think?

I'm asking the seller for the serial number, but I don't know the BT + baton hour hand combo is legit or not.

Terrible photos... looks like was polished. Looks like CB case, but with HF bezel..
BT+baton hands is an uncommon combo, I`ve seen few examples so far, one was UK military, second from Izrael, and small US batch with cal 550.
Calibre, and SN could tell more. So far, many suspicious thing. Or its rare, either part watch...

I'm requesting for the image of case back as well as the movement.

The polishing/brushing job is terrible...

Yes, I also feel it was badly polished/brushed.

What utterly awful photos. I can’t help but feel these are designed to look pretty whilst preventing any kind of meaningful assessment of the details of the watch

Nice job can be done, but you need skills and tools. Including welding. Only if you add some material, you can take some off…
