Hands are trash.

Dial I am not familiar enough on without doing research, but on first glance might be OK.

Seconds tip doesn't appear to reach minute track, counterwiehgt is too short, will not cover interection of Mercedes on Hour hand. Best case is only seconds hand is fake.


Frankly it is a lousy photo.

You’re saying that the seconds hand is supposed to cross the Mercedes intersection completely? I have another shot and the counterweight is meeting. Good info for me I appreciate you

Post the other shot - this is a lousy photo for people to make calls when you need something asap. I don't think an extreme angle can make THAT much difference but wonky photos do wonky things.

The counterweight is supposed to cover the INTERSECTION of the three bars on the hour hand - in the middle.

Crappy photo but the pointer on the hour hand looks not right and the lume on the arm doesn’t extend down far enough would be my guesses in addition to second hand being too short on both ends.

Minute hand no idea what issue with that is

That is possibly wrong too, but photos are inconsistent. Both of them. Sus.

Dial looks okay but you really need better pictures to see if the dial is scratched or a spider dial.

Depending on price swapping a bad dial and hands is not expensive for this model. I would not buy it based on the pictures you have.
