Stumbled across this today

Was the caseback reengraved?

Script looks blurred: Look at 'F' and second 'E' in "Certified"

Seamonster tail is incomplete

Looks all a bit unsharp



Inside looks correct though

Not redone. Just horribly/incorrectly re-polished. The brushed section should be spun and not straight across.

probably been polished by someone used to working on Rolex’s, who couldn’t be bothered to check what the correct finish was.

Yikes!
I mean… I guess the back doesn’t matter that much. But still - that’s just horrible.
