    So, this one is for sale for 5000 €.

    Besides hands have different lume, is there anything else that looks different than it should.
    Hands do not align perfectly.

    What do you think?

    Well, for sure crown is not original.
    Apart from that, it looks ok to me. Maybe it needs a service, but it's not a bad price after all.

    The minute hand is wrong.

    Yeah. I’ve just compared it to wristpirate’s a384 who’s got right one. I guess 5k is a bit stretch here.

    As already said, crown wrong and minute hand wrong.

    Case brushing looks sharp, so perhaps has been refurbished? Would need better photos.

    Overall a fair price.

    Yes, I didn't noticed the minute hand.
    About the case: maybe it's just the pic!

    This looks like an incompetently ‘prepared’ watch

    Even the photography is badly executed…

    Move on, and look further

    Is that due to the angle when the photo was taken? It does not look dead centre to me.

    I have no affiliation with this seller, but perhaps someone wants to buy this watch - the dealer is https://www.longitudi.fi/tuoteluettelo/ - use Chrome browser, right click, Translate page.

    Maybe it is the angle of the photo, I don’t know, I just say “be carefull”. Need more and better photo. Dial looks good, the case less imho

    What do you mean, Longitudi has nothing to do with the OP’s watch? The OP watch is being sold in Germany from a completely different dealer.

    Agreed. I'm never a fan of when dealers do distance shots of a watch.

    Hands are more important than the case in this matter.
