    Not a single part of that watch is in great condition. The problem is that the word "great" is subjective and is the seller's opinion.

    Do we like the dial - particularly the crosshairs - as original?

    No. I think it is an older redial.

    Interestingly, in English the word "great" meant big in size or coarse in its earliest versions. The concept of "great" meaning good or excellent is a much more modern twist. I can understand that particular watch being described as coarse, and the seller's exaggerations are certainly big in size, so there ya go! Accurate!
