    There is something off about the dial.

    The 6 and 9 figures don't match the style of the others and the minute marks are much too long.

    That's enough to dismiss it in my book.

    The case is heavily polished, too.

    That's a tough one. The dial/hands seem odd but the style and the movement really make you consider it for the price. I think the markers look different from one another due to the light of the photo. And quite polished (soft edges). I too would pass, but I can understand the temptation.
    Maybe others can offer an opinion on the dial finish/originality including hands...

    Look again, the 6 and 9 are ribbed and the others are plain bars with black accents. Parts from more than one dial there.

    This is a nice watch, dial and movement look legit, the case is polished a bit too much for my taste though... try to get it for 180.- and you will have a reliable daily beater, not a collectible though!

    Compleatly disagree this dial is a horrible redial. Have to agree with Norman (X350 XJR) on this dial the markers at six and nine have been replaced with non matching ones. I have a Seamaster De Ville with these same markers at three, six, nine and twelve...the dial of OP is mismatched!:( And the printing is too thick, total redial.:eek:

    Don't like the overpolished case and I think the dial might have had gold markers, Ω symbol, and date window added along with gold hands.
