Not being an expert the hands seem short and I have not seen many UG with the Breguet numerals.

Not being an expert
It's a quest for Non-experts 馃槈

In general, Breguet numerals on Compurs are legit:

As you can see, shape of minute and hour hand is also correct.

So what may cause the "shortness" of the minute hand?

Redial. The first obvious telltale is the logo

Discuss what's wrong with it (apart from the price...)
That there are no movement pics nor from the inside of the caseback.

Subdials seem very wrong!
Exactly!
Not centered, wrong style.

But that's not all...

Pretty nice looking Nina on ebay:

The auction just finished and this watch hammered at $17,350. I am keen to know what the Nina experts here think of this watch at that price.

I was watching from the sidelines and thought it interesting that the high bid didn鈥檛 move at all during last knockings. No late flurry, no sniping; nothing.

I was wondering the same thing. I guess the stakes were very high at 17K

higher than I thought it would go, especially after you factor in taxes. But looks like an honest example, and generally happy to see UG getting some love in the market.
