Wanting to get thoughts from the experts on this? Seller wants $5600..

Crown doesn't look original and case looks polished.. Am I missing anything?

The dial is a non-starter for me, especially at that price.. And I think you're right, crown is replacement. Also the bottom pusher looks odd.. Not sure if its just been worn so much or what.. Hour* hand looks to have been relumed as well.

And case back has some serious pitting as well...

In my opinion, the colour difference between hands and numbers lume might indicate posterior reluming... But this should be checked "in the metal" with a loupe or macro shots.

On the other hand, both dial inferior part and reset button have discolouration and obscure tone. Perhaps it is indicating a past humidity presence.

You may want to check out the private sales section, a nice tricompax being sold there.

I've never figured out how to get access to it?

I quite like that dial. Hour hand has been relumed, horrible replacement crown, and bottom pusher is either a replacement or has seen better days.

You'll want to know the service history, and some movement pics would help.
