I feel like Ebay is a minefield as well.. most safe for beginners is probably the private sale section here.

And even that requires some caution. Only a handful of likes on a FS post? There’s probably a reason.

Good point, the lugs still retain their lines and bevel on the bezel is fine. I find the polishing okay and it seems to have been done without rounding any sharp edges.

For those who declared redial on this watch, I'm wondering if you could point out specifically what red flags led you to that conclusion.

Looking at the dial pic in large format what I see are perfectly aligned five minute printed markers with the applied markers, perfectly aligned Swiss Made, good cross hair, MOY and lettering within accepted margins for a cal 505 model, and not much I can fault.

I think the pic is a lower pixel pic and there has been some marginal distortion to the dial by potential scratches on the crystal, but short of having a pic that showed the printing was flat and not embossed, I wouldn't be inclined to call this dial an imposter.

I am totally new and love your work ... so when I blow this picture up, the minute markings look like they bow towards the center of the watch like an frowning arc. Shouldn't they arc the other way?
