Looking for opinions on this 6265

[Luca79]

Hello everybody, I found this 6265 for sale and I was wondering if everything looks ok, as I'm considering purchasing it.

Thank you so much for the help!

Nice watch. Do you have the serial number (or at least the first three digits?)

[Luca79]

Thanks! Yes they sent me the first three digits, which are 413.

to be 100% sure we need better Pics of the dial.
Its known there are a lot good quality fakes around
I have some doubts about this dial because on a Stella dial the T Swiss T is slightly above the 5 minute markers, on this dial it appears Swiss is in the same hight as the 5 minute markers.
The crown looks to be solid so aftermarket, but this could be the picture, and i have some doubts with these pushers.
Also a good picture of the movement, as there are a lot around with gobbled together movements, so you need to be 100% sure its all correct, because its a lot of money.

I like to add, with this kind of watches, when there is any doubt on anything, I would advise not to buy it. so this one is a big no go for me...

Do you have a close up of the movement and case back?

There are many fake / converted Valjoux 72s out there.

Also a better picture of the bezel and the sigma dial.

Unfortunately those pics are the only ones the seller sent me.
I don’t live close to them (5 hour drive) so this is making things a bit difficult to judge.

What are your doubts regarding the pushers?

The crown looks like a modern 704 crown as would be fitted to a modern daytona (the ring at the base of the crown is the clue) and these also get fitted as service replacements and unfortunately they are chunkier than the 700/702 fitted in the early years and they do look wrong on such a small watch.

The "Sigma" layouts come in a bunch of versions. On silver dials it's probably more common than not for the T's to be level with the five minute markers. Black dials vary more. In some the "sigma" and the T are next to each other on the same side of the 32 minute mark.
