Case lines are very sharp. Dial is good, not great, I would be put off by the mark to the right of six. Lume has turned dark which may indicate water ingress. Take the claim of service with a grain of salt, +8 seconds per day to me says it could stand a regulation at the very least. Movement looks good overall, though signs of rotor rub, which may or may not have been addressed. I would factor in the cost of service if you plan to wear it. I'm always suspicious when they throw in extra straps, makes me wonder if there's something I've overlooked. Is that crown too large for the case?

As someone who sometimes throws in too much extra straps, it's usually to get rid of all the straps I've bought or came with watches that I won't use 😀

This watch is a solid meh, price is meh, the dirt on the 6'o clock indice is the main issue as @sleepyastronaut mentioned, otherwise It's a good watch, and I believe the lumes go dark if the dust from the rotor rub gets into the dial too, so not always a water issue, the movement looks clean but it could be just expert photography, but at least it's a sign of a deep service, as if there was water intrusion at any point, the original screws wouldn't be like the ones in the photo

But as first impressions go, when I first saw this watch, It looked good to me, I noticed the blemish later on
