Hi guys - just after some advice on the below 2849 please.

Seller sent me some pictures of the back and front (attached below - looks like some minor scratches / back has been polished) but doesn't have any photos of the inside / movement. How much of a red flag is this relative to the price of it (AUD$1,049) and is there anything else I'm maybe missing?

Thanks.

This is a hard pass. The dial has been badly repainted. Always a good thing to ask here before making a purchase 👍

Oh wow I would not have picked that. Really appreciate it. What am I missing that's obvious? 'Calendar' off centre?

The fonts are crudely written. The watch in general has problems. Overpolished, relumed, missing lume on the hands, wrong crown.

Here’s a picture courtesy of @kyle L that shows what a correct 2849 will look like.

Whole case is polished, incorrect crown, horribly refinished dial.
