Wondering how many people are watching this one?

As of Wednesday morning, 7:56am CST, 217 people. I'd guess more than half of them are "working" from home.

Here are a few things I would consider, but look forward to be “critiqued” by the experts around here:
- Cracked hesalite with risk of moisture ingress, but it does not seem that dial suffered.
- hour markers not “washed out”
- wondering about bezel insert and why it seems to be “deeper” than usual with the 60 on top, a bit obstructed.
- also, is it the pic resolution or do the serial number and the “omega” sign next to the 321 seem a bit “off”?
- hands look legit with some lume that has fallen off on hour hand
- short fat chrono pushers also seem period-correct
- from engravings on caseback, it does seem that the watch has been serviced at least two or three times in its lifetime... but on the plus side, it does not seem to have suffered from a “hack” job when being opened as there are no deep scarring of the back and the step is still visible all around with crisp Seahorse.
- movement without the “OXB” engraving... so, not initially delivered to USA?

What about the highlighted observations on the OP watch made above? The "Omega" print on the movement does look funky, no? Also the first two numbers of the serial look out of line with the rest of the serial. My 321's don't have these same features. Curious if anything looks "off" about the movement, including the cleanliness compared to the rest of the watch...?

it's complete garbage. don't bid on it. I don't know why anyone is bidding on it. Everyone should retract their bids ASAP

I suspect it is due to the low res of the picture and pic distortion...

Ok, until reading this thread I had no idea what an “Ed White” was, (I’ve already slapped myself if the back of the head for you) but have since done some research - how fascinating and educational. The area of watches never stops amazing me. A lot of credit goes to this wonderful forum. Thank you everyone.
