I was keeping an eye on this, sold for $3250, am I correct in thinking the hands and dial looked OK, but the case was super jacked up?

I think I can't see this in the first two pictures and not even in any other of the auction pictures. 😵‍💫

It doesn't look like a reflection, it looks like a severe dent.

Maybe the seller forgot to photoshop one of the pics?

Not just the dent, but the entire upper and lower horizontal case profile looks really wonky

I believe those case profiles should be nice and solid (near?) horizontal lines, and also thicker, in terms of the space between the crystal and the edge. But I have not researched these a lot, so I'm not super familiar.

This looks like an example of much better case, to compare...

Showing pictures of "cosmetical surgery" isn't forbidden, but manipulating pictures is very bad.

The link won’t load so I couldn’t see the case back or crown (but profile pics of the crown look like service crown). The pics seem to be dramatically different (hands look bright green in some and cream in others).

For the money it could be ok but if the pics are photoshopped that’s a no-go for me.
