Thoughts on 5513 Bart Simpson?

Hello, I'm new to the forums, though have been a lurker for some time. I have the chance to purchase this 5513 and wanted to know if any glaring problems from the experts here. Thank you in advance, and for all your knowledge!

Need better pictures from all angles with the bracelet removed. But the bezel, insert, dial n hands look authentic. Pity the dial is damaged which is common with this version. I guess it depends on the asking price.

Basically all the value is in the dial and that is toast. Case is in my opinion sadly cut and the insert is also later and has turned brown due to heat manipulation. I would pass.

You mean that’s not a rare “Starry Night Sky” Dial?

Who cares what dealers decide to call it? I'm sure someone could call it tropical as well. Doesn't change what it is.
