It's always difficult to be asked to give opinions based on only one photo. The more photos and information you provide, the better feedback you'll receive. And a bit of a personal introduction wouldn't hurt when joining a new community.
The hands are blocking a lot of the print, but at first glance it appears to be a legit Mk 5 dial, which would be appropriate for a later 1655. You didn't indicate the serial number, so we can't check for consistency. I think the elongated 6s are a signature of a service bezel, but others may know better. Nice color on the 24 hour hand. We can't really judge the case from that photo, but the crown guards give the appearance of some polishing. As for the condition of the dial and lume plots, it appears that you've already identified the mold, so I'm not sure what you want to know.

I realized that I have this listing in my watch list. The case is badly over polished IMO.

I saw that one last week, it's a pass for me, but there seems to always be a buyer for anything, so who knows.
