5508 in the bay

The case looks a bit "too fresh"?!

What does the professionals think about that piece?

I won’t say I’m an expert on this reference at all but the listing does mention the dial is refinished and I would agree.
Case and movement doesn’t bother me as much as the dial, hands and bezel do.
Movement parts watch, or I don’t care so I will wear the crap out of it watch, at best.

No good - fake dial, hands, insert, case......my fave bit is the serifed hour markers on bezel insert!

Dial is refinished/fake for sure. Idk about the case, I can't tell from those pictures.
