Why not look for your watch here?

Is the dial / hand combination correct in your eyes?

i am glad you mentioned it, i think the dial is too clean compared to the patina on the hands.

Take your time and try to spot some things. I am sure you'll find it is fun...

When you are experienced enough, it will be fun to see what others can't spot.

@gab@009 @efauser didn't leave his final feedback, but my feedback is to stay away... 😀

The correct challenge would be to see if anyone can spot anything good about the OP watch. 🙄

My final feedback is that it's a piece of shit; find something else. Feel better @OMEGuy ?

Your final feedback is, finally, always a final consense to me. 😀

I love how the more experienced OF’ers took gab009 to school on how to evaluate this watch. You guys gently and courteously guided him through the process, with just the right prompts and questions. No condescension or snobbery. Well done!

That’s what makes this such a cool international forum. I thoroughly enjoy listening in on this worldwide conversation covering such a wide variety of topics. Occasionally, I might even chime in!

It helps when the OP plays along like this one. Sometimes they get defensive and angry.

The movement seems okay though. Not much damage on the screws etc. Or am I missing something obvious here?

IMO crown is wrong for that reference, moevement seems very dirty, maybe these are remains of a water damage

EDIT: Wrong bezel or too much polish? there should be no gap here between lug and bezel
