    If I had to guess I'd say somebody may have tried to polish it at some point. The Anakin has a tungsten shell over the base steel case, and if you try to grind some scratches out you'll tear right through it.

    I see it has sold, for an offer less than $2550.
    As a good condition one sells for 4000+ then is suppose it isn't a bad buy, if you had a replacement case, or just wanted one to wear.
    Of course you do have to want one in the first place.

    I guess you are right, for some people who already has nice similar case with low value dial/movt then swapping is no brainer in business sense.

    Trouble is these cases are almost always chipped slightly, the plating was far more fragile than originally intended so its nearly impossible to find a good case, then you're left with a dial and Cal 861 movement of not overly high value.
