I came across this listing at the Gardiner Houlgate auction.

What about it jumps out as dodgy? The mismatched lume?

That would need to come with provenance at that price, along with a bit of honesty regarding the replacement hands. Case, crown & bezel look all too tidy for a Military issue piece also. Serial etching on the back looks too bold to me.

the T on the dial is about 2 times the normal size and a different font than typically used.

The numbers in the back look odd to me...almost as if they were hand engraved or deepened
