That might be because the photos aren’t good enough to fully evaluate. Based just on those three photos, I’d say the first one has the best lugs, although not sure I’d call them “beefy.”

For comparison, see below for my 6.0 serial 6263 with what I’d describe as a thick case.

Yes, cases can be completely rebuilt, and dials can be completely refinished and made perfect too. But then they’d no longer be original, of course.

Surprises me how some collectors are fine laser-welding a case, but it’s totally taboo to touch a dial. Makes little sense to me.
