At a minimum the dial is badly refinished, and the whole watch just looks wrong.

Dial has been poorly refinished and pearl replaced with an aftermarket piece.

The serial number places the case in the Gilt dial era, a loose Gilt dial in acceptable condition will be nearly impossible to find.

I'd pass on this one.
