    Looks like an over polished case and a potential redial to me.

    I'd say definite redial.

    Why do people take photos with the hands obscuring the logo? ::facepalm2::

    Even so, one can see some major alignment issues in the minute track and the lugs certainly look overpolished. It's a below average example, but to be fair, the price reflects the poor condition.

    Yup, look at the 10 and 11 minute markers that do not align with the indices.

    I'd snap it up for $200. Oversized case. Case looks OK to me. If it was polished. I think overall it would be a lot cleaner.

    Redial. Big stink. I've seen worse being sold for 2 - 3 times that price

    Grab it. Not a bad price

    I'd have to agree with DON, for that price wear it and enjoy.

    My bad. Only checked one Google reference and listed as 38 mm, but a recheck says 36 mm on others

    Still think the price is good. Movement is clean. Little aging on ratchet wheel, but can swap out to make the movement nicer

    That redial would drive me nuts at any price. Not that I can see most of it because the hands are in the way.
