Meters First Sub Recently Sold on Ebay

I did not buy this watch, I am trying to learn from it.

It seems bezel is way later and case is meh-ish, although chamfer bones are there.

Lume and hands seem quite white, is this a service dial?

Curious to get others opinions, (regrettably?) I enjoy looking at offerings and playing the 'what's right what's wrong' game with them.

As Dan said, the description says washed dial so huge value hit.

Ah, I missed that and thanks. I was trying to figure out why it went so low and that washed dial is it.

Dial should also be feet first from the serial and caseback.

Insert appears to be a service, definitely not original.

Hands looking "glossy lumed" so maybe a laque and no lume.

Furthermore i dont like this "pseudo" dirt under the lugs and between them.

Yeah, it appeared to have more issues that strong points. I have always loved 1680 red subs, but they seemed to be the most f*cked with watch in history.

Those thin font service inserts are not attractive.
