On the dial the crown and stick markers look uneven and they cover the numbers. And overall looks sloppy to me.

You know a lot more than I do, am I wrong about it?

Full disclosure from the seller:

"silver painted dial with applied stick indexes and a date window indicator at three o'clock (refinished)"

So do you think the watch is real? I was also looking at the bezel, espeically at the triangle marker at 12 oclock. It doesn't look anything like a real one that I have, but that one's much older.

Stevie Wonder could do a better job refinishing a dial than that!
