Input on a 1655 on the bay...
I'm looking at this 1655 on eBay and wanted to get the community's take on it...
Is the case authentic? Any thoughts on the dial lume (triangle?) and issue with the hands? Case clearly looks like it's been polished but is it at a point of no return? is this example a hard pass?

I am feeling like the lume was poorly repaired on hands and dial.

I couldn't deal with that case either. Look how rounded it is. It's like a bar of soap.

All depends on the asking price -
Send it off for a proper restore from a vintage only restorer. Love the 1655 |

Why worry about the lume when it’s a fake dial?

The 24h hand as well is looking off. The case has zero rubbing from a bracelet. I point to worry!

I would have to be given money to take this "1655".
Dial is fake, case as well. Hands too, of course... |

Would it be worth us all flagging the lisiting? It is coming from Beirut and at $6400 with 6 days left.

As stated. It's well off - Easy to see Dial and hands and insert are fake. eBay Authentication should pick it up ..I'll send their concierge mgr a note too
