I don't like what they have done to the case, TBH.

Case looks soft

Agree with above …. Case is overpolished. Look at those poor pointy crown guards.

Noted on all your comments! I will validate these when inspecting the watch physically.

And the cratered and misshapen lug-holes.

I think you might want to spend more time looking at photos, so that you can learn how a case should look. The condition is pretty clear from the photos.

Noted, will validate! Thought the dark background / reflection from the steel surface may cause some distortion.

Anyone has comments on the dial/hands/lume and bezel insert?

To be honest the pictures are very clear. The case is over polished! It’s a pass for me

You guys are spot on. Saw the watch physically today. The lugs on the crown side are definitely shaved down and visibly thinner than the other side.

Skipping this.

Omg sometimes photos really need lighting conditions. Of course the real photos will not be much different from the studio photos released.

Hi,

Hard to judge this dial with these pictures but serif dial is fine for 2.9xx.xxx cases
Later insert (late 70s) but still valuable so not a big deal on the price side, just the pain of selling this one and looking for a period correct one.
Case is polished for sure but I think pictures are completely misleading, just compare the crown guards on picture 1: looks awful, on picture 5 looks perfectly acceptable at this price tag IMO.
Lugs are rounded and the flat surface on the CG seems gone but case is still better looking than many 5513 offered for sale IMO
Could be period correct bracelet/clasp.
Looks like the right 702 crown
Case back and movement should be checked.
