Later hands. Fake insert. Case a bit soft. Hard to judge the glossiness of the dial. Bracelet is also later than the watch.

They are later. Original hands are flat and the minute hand should reach the chapter ring.

Well.. A perfect one is much, much, much more. Without knowing the quality of the dial I can’t say. A mirrorlike dial alone should be worth 13k but if not perfect value quickly go down.

Personally I wouldn’t touch that but we all have different prefences.
