Yes, very little chance (read: zero) APSC would return a watch post-service like that; I’ve never actually seen an AP with bezel screws this wonky. It _could_ also be a sign of inauthenticity, but not by definition.

I have a healthy risk appetite, but would avoid this watch purely based on this, whether provable to be authentic or not. But obviously you should punch it into your own calculations and proceed accordingly! Good luck!
