5k worth of laser welding and you'd have a neat watch.

the bezel looks like it was used to file down nailheads.

I guess you should look for another. For the $10k you could get a real sweet Tudor Submariner from the same year. The case has catastrophic metal loss

A little high.
About $1500 will make it look proper.

The comment about needing a loupe to see the serial and reference numbers is also concerning. This watch has been through the mill.

I like that it has a T19 or T39 on it. I'm not a fan of the top hat 127, but that's just my taste. Other than that, very good insights shared about why to stay away from this one!
