Thanks. Watch is sold by a German dealer. Haven't dealt with him before but seemed legit to me.
Just help me out - what's the reason for such a fake / franken since the rest (movement, dial, bezel, bracelet, papers) look legit and time correct? Like I have a genuine watch with a worn-down case and want to dress it with an unpolished one?

So overall a pass I assume? Thanks for providing the insights...
