路If it's a CB case, it's very polished. If it's a HF it's also polished. No other concerns from this one picture but that is not really all that would need to be checked. (Serial, Movement, Caseback inner etc..)

路Almost looks as if there's a satin photo filter placed over the lugs.

路Ultra over-polished case (I hope it's an HF case otherwise, it's an even more dead CB case).
The color of the lume on the hands seems to indicate a service hand set (luminova) but I am not 100% sure (especially regarding the chrono hand).
I would say 90% chance of service hands.
Correct short pushers.
As far as I can see, I guess a service crown.
I do not like it but, as usually, it depends upon the asking price...

路There is also a problem with the movement as the hour subdial points between 6 and 7 hours.
I believe the seller wanted to "hide" the chrono creep.
Needs a complete service.

路Definitely taking my time. Seems like someone went to town on the case. They claim a recent service but evidence shows otherwise. Fantastic observations from just one picture. Thank you. Learning lots.

路What a shame.. that watch is gorgeous, but someone went absolutely bat-**** crazy with a buffing wheel.

路I'm sorry, but there is no evidence that the watch needs a complete service. The photo shows a watch with the chrono running.
Nothing wrong with that, and to assume the seller is trying to hide chrono creep is rather jumping the gun.

路Some watches with chrono creep will not reset exactly to 12 anymore so that would narrow it down a little bit.
My point was that we shouldn't be stating as fact that the watch needs a full service when there is no evidence to support that.

路Well I suppose you could say that about some watches that don't have chrono creep.

路路Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.No way to determine service needs. Some show the watch with the Chrono running to show it works. It鈥檚 not a sign of being nefarious.
