Wanted to throw this watch out there that I am considering.

Any red flags or items I should be looking for? This fits all the criteria that I’ve been searching for a couple months and $600 is roughly what similar watches are going for. Dial seems ok, a little patina on the hands. Little bit of wear on the movement - is that something to be concerned about?

Dial isn’t ok I’m afraid. It’s refinished.

My feeling too but the pic is so poor it’s hard to be certain.

'SWISS MADE' seems off to me; but I agree that it would be better to get a clearer picture to be certain.

I also think it's important to pay attention to the wear on the movement - since the cost of servicing the watch could easily be equal to the initial $600 price.
