    Folks,

    For your delectation and delight.... What's your take on this case back? This is on an otherwise great looking watch with 31.6 serial. Dealer looking for $5500.

    To my novice eyes, it just doesn't look right.. The stamping looks poor and the 'colouring in' ; shocking.

    Thoughts?
    Thanks

    Sharpie?

    These are 2 of mine. Maybe a little orange felt marker would be an improvement?

    It's polished too much and they tried to fill the stamping on the back with black paint. Way to expensive.

    A nice hint of fade in the bezel and patina on the dial looks nice. BUt price is still on the high side

    Severely overpolished case back pushes value down.

    Typical dealer watch with distracting extras (Well, a box).

    Ideal to sell to wives for gifts to husbands in the city
