Looks OK from here, other than the amateur Cape Cod polish on the bracelet (should be brushed outer links/polished center links). Note it's a mid-size, not full-size.

Looks alright to me, a touch overpolished. The background is the only out of place thing I can see. Is it resting on the back of a passing cow?

What do you see as "multiple red flags"?
Thanks adam

I haven't reported the watch because I don't have one for detailed comparison. I initially thought that the oddly polished bracelet and the visible bracelet part number were red flags, but I've since found a mix of Yachtmaster photos of SEL with and without bracelet part numbers.
I appreciate that folks share their knowledge. |

Yes. Older Yachties had sleeker lines than the newer references.

I was referring to the brushed areas that had been polished
