    Case a bit polished. Crown and subseconds hand later replacements. Otherwise looks ok.

    That's a nice one and the exact reference on my rebuy list.

    I checked and I missed it the first time I saw the listing. The second hand is a replacement. I should have compared it with Dennis' photo. I would have seen the difference right a way...duh::facepalm1::

    I think there should be a second spring at the base of the bridge. Also, there is some inconsistent coloration issues in the movement.

    All of these problems are fixable. It is still a nice watch.

    Thanks for your inputs guys. Seems that those things you mentioned are fixable. However I just spotted there seems to be some damage to the case. What do you think? Thanks again.

    Looks like someone was a bit too aggressive opening the case. It's not too bad but combined with the other little issues that have been mentioned, I would pass personally

    I noticed this, but didn't mention it as I feel it is par for the course with 18K snapback cases.

    The damage can be hidden by rotating the case back. Thumbs up to this seller for showing the damage. A lot of them wouldn't.

    Take care,

    Not sure though that the damage is just to the caseback and not the case side. If it is the former, not a big deal. If the latter, dealbreaker for me.

    That looks like the center of the case has the damage.

    With my 2 cents of input, I agree. Looks like the center of the case.

    It looks to me that the damage is on the case side and the caseback is fine. Guess I will give it a miss and wait for a better example. Thanks guys.:)
