I am not expert of this ref but the hands set looks wrong. The black hands seems off as the chrono hand.

Something strange going on between 90 and 150 on the tachymetre scale as well.

I think that the hands are corroded which makes them darker / look black.

I am pretty sure that is just distortion from the crystal. It is an aftermarket one which does not have a smooth profile. The corner is hiding the edge of the tachy scale.

I am not an expert, so perhaps @dsio will weigh in on these issues.

I’m not entirely sure the hands are simply corroded - from certain angles they appear to be painted or treated in black. The chronograph hand also has a red tip, which doesn’t seem correct either and suggests that the set of hands may have been replaced.

In any case, it sold for USD 3,550, which is fairly reasonable even if the hands needed to be replaced.

„Serviced & restored.“

At that price point, it’s certainly not one I’d recommend.
For anyone who’s still considering it: Ask for pics of the dial in natural daylight. The dial is spotty and the pics do a good job to hide it.
