This watch caused quite a bit of curiosity amongst some members of a forum because of the red sweep hand.
This model does not come with red or orange (some say it looks orange) sweep hands.
When it arrived and after close examination, I noticed that the paint job on the red sweep hand is quite uneven. According to the pros, the hands and lumes are also worked on before.
Another puzzling thing was that this watch has both the old and new reference numbers engraved at the back. Some suggested that it is because this watch was made during transition period to the new reference number.
Aside from these two things, this watch is close to the real deal. The sound of the movement sounds like my car catalytic converter after I stop the car, which is quite normal from a vintage mechanical piece.
However, I could not keep the watch because there was a scratch on the crystal and seller did not disclose this when I purchase the watch.
