    Does this mean you were the flipper?

    Dial swap, touch-ups, or just creative photograph?

    If it is the same watch, it may have been "enhanced", e.g. polished case, and cleaned dial. And it's only a "nice flip" if it has actually been sold.

    In any case, the poor photos don't help with any analysis.

    Creative photography. If you look at their first photo, the big hand sweep scratch is still there, but reflecting "white" instead of black because of the angle.

    Or they went over everything with a silver pen. Lots of silver splotches in that photo...

    Yeah, you can see faint remnants of the worst damage, but the difference is huge. This photo is slightly more honest, but I still think a buyer is going to be terribly disappointed.

    I can confirm it's the exact same watch. Received additional pictures from the seller and the touch-up marks are evident. No mention about it from the seller :thumbsdown:

    So they are actually touched up? Not just fancy photo skills?

    The dial is touched up. That plus fancy photo skills make it look that good.

    We need to make this more searchable. That’s really bad.
