Redial. Overpolished case. Keep looking for a better example.

Very foolish reluming also.

Foolish? A bit sloppy and it would have been a nice touch to do the hands as well, but foolish?

The reluming of the 3h marker looks foolish to me. Sorry, but it’s more than just sloppy

You mean that there should either be none or it should be placed underneath the marker, for instance?

What an amazing pile of shit.

This was a gold capped case and they have ground the gold off the lugs leaving it only on the sides of the case likely because it was worn on the edges of the lugs. That's an awful lot of work to turn a worn and tired case into the total piece of shit we see here. 😲 🤮::facepalm1::

...I was too busy looking at the dial to notice the case job. Good lord that is bad.

Haven't you heard of the new ombre vintage watch style? It's gonna be the next big thing in 2020!

Why do you think / how do you see? Thanks!

As you correctly mentioned, it's too newish looking. The font and the minute markers are also applied sloppily. If you look at the pictures in the listing, you'll see that everything seems a bit wobbly.
