am I seeing things but the edge of the case looks like metal was sliced off the case...??

If it's on the bottom left lug in the first picture, then I think its image distortion caused by the seller's watermark.

That part of the lug. Maybe that is the most untouched case ever and that's the way it came from factory but that is something new for me...

Refinished case and case is now the wrong shape 👎

What sort of language mangling is this?
I think it's how White Star Line described the scrape on the hull of the Titanic from that iceberg

Nice catch George! Learned another thing to look for with your comment.

I am just very picky with dents or abuse on my watches so I pick up small details. Or maybe is it because my work makes me look for discrepancies in data...

Let's see if this is a better pick... A USAF Graduate model Speedmaster X33 with box, papers and provenance. A day to go & it is still below the usual BIN asking price:

These squadron watches are appealing and this would be a nice addition for any Speedmaster collector, especially as these watches are also part of the space program.
This one is the first edition with different crown and shinny bezel. It is generally lower priced and considered less desirable then the version 2.
I would point out that this watch was owned by an USAF, (as stated by Warren) program graduate, and not the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun). The sellers use of "Top Gun" I find a little misleading.

There is only one Top Gun (Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) in Fallon NV) and only one real Top Gun watch and it's a Breitling. Here is mine.

Yeap, it was my understanding that the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center in Fallon NV succeeded the Navy Fighter Weapons School at Miramar.

You are correct & I miss the air shows at Miramar. Ooops, I went off topic, my apology.🙄

this is the same item that was on a Polish auction site. this seller will most likely make a higher bid then yours from a different account if the final price does not make him happy. so be aware of that. the photos are real but this is a professional seller so be aware that it could be a restored or refreshed item. in this case he claims that the dial is unrestored but who knows ...

The fear of course is that the watch is not being re-sold but instead the pictures from the polish auction are being used to sell a watch not in the possession of the ebay seller!
