Because the dial has been refinished, killing the value.

You're on a collectors forum so originality and condition are the most important considerations.

You asked for opinions. Were told what was wrong with it and then you question the information. Not the best way to continue getting help.

The dial is about half the value of a vintage watch, so a redial cuts the value compared to a nice original.
Keep asking questions and look at a few threads here on your targets. That's how we learn.
