·Hello, new here and I'd be really happy if someone could help me a bit with the model mentioned in the title.
English is not my native language so please be kind as I'm trying my best to describe what I find weird on the watch, thanks.
Long story short, I have the opportunity to buy this model but after looking at the watch (pics attached below), I've see (too many) red flags. It might be my lack of knowledge but I'm pretty picky with details and any input from specialists here would greatly be appreciated. All comparisons I've made are with pics found online. Here are some of the points I noticed:
1. The thin arrow is positioned quite high (close to the center of the watch) as opposed to closed to the '6'.
2. The ends of the three lines of the arrow are not aligned horizontally at the bottom (the left and right lines are higher than the center line)
3. The 'Swiss Made' writing at the bottom is somehow 'squeezed' compared to other models
4. The font for the numerals is different. For instance the Zero is more rounded on this dial: the bottom 'circle' of the '8' is about the same size as the upper one, and the '7' does not posses any 'hook'.
5. Probably not a big issue but the luminous bars and dots on the dial look like they 'bled' out of where they were supposed to be applied. It might be a radium/tritium issue but this is something I don't know about.
6. The small indicators between the numbers don't match what I see on other models which possess the bars (indicators) within two circles.
If you see anything else, please let me know. From what I can tell, the dial has not been repainted but I may be wrong.
Thank you for your help.
