·What are your concerns?
It looks like a correct new old stock 6138-8020 that's sat in a drawer since 1978.
Looks perfectly fine to me.
Here is an original I had for comparison.

The dial possibly, but certainly not the case surely? It looks very polished.

·Poorly polished case and the hands are aftermarket. Extremely common to find these with aftermarket hands and/or dial, obviously. I would also spend some time looking very carefully at the dial.
Edit: I originally described the obvious tells about the hands, but then decided to delete them. Just study the hands carefully against some original hands.
