This needs to be in the vintage section so Haywood can have a gander.

Quick look but the Insert and hands don’t look good?

The circle and "T" on the dial look too thick based on other legit versions I've seen, but who knows. Need a pair of 5517 expert eyes. I'd be way too nervous to buy this watch at this price point on eBay.

Yes, too many red flags: dial with poor lume job, wrong hands, aftermarket insert, dubious engravings and case. Will stay away especially at this price point.
