My thoughts are that it is ugly and corroded.

"Case Condition: Possibly unpolished with no significant nicks or scratches and all the numbers present"

Yeah is that how it was intended to look? Or is this some some kind of strange reaction that caused it to turn those colors?

The green on the dial is possibly a verdigris type reaction from copper in the dial, I would imagine. I have seen it before and a skilled watchmaker managed to remove the green colouration by carefully rinsing with (iirc) a weak acidic solution and then plenty of careful rinsing with water. Perilous task I would imagine.

“Mint Chocolate Chip” my ass. No such thing.

Auction house owners should be sued for fraud.

Just another spider dial…

Interesting name for a weird patina due to misstorage

This "dealer" is pretty well known for junk like this.

" named in honor of the famous Constellation jet that flew during World War ll."
Needs a proof reader. Or should that be truth?

I'm sure I recall someone telling me that this dealer is extremely young, perhaps even in his late teens or very early 20s.

Of course, this is not an excuse if he is misleading people intentionally but we all make mistakes when we're young and I suspect it is mainly a case of over-enthusiasm and perhaps a little inexperience.
