Help with authenticating!

Hi all,

newbie purchaser here, all looks good but i'd appreciate a second set of eyes!

This DJ looks OK, but it's definitely been polished, and not very well, IMHO. The lugs are thin, and look how the top right lug bows in a little toward the end. Also, the hands are replacements.

This is not a rare watch. If you're looking for an excellent example, I'd keep looking. If you're not that picky and the price is right, why not? Make sure you see the movement.

The mismatched hands aren't very appealing to me. Price?

This is the type of watch that my advice is avoid hands are wrong on top of that the lugs are thin and with these types of watches you could have problems down the road you don't want to get into having to replace the case to a new service case stay away
