Header is confusing. Are you seeking help or approval/comments? MHO -- good looking watch; I personally don't favor that type of lug though.

Is the three chrono hands being slightly off a tough fix a sign of a bigger problem?

The watch has the wrong case back - it's from the octagonal all stainless steel model. I'm not quite sure about the dial - the printing doesn't look quite as crisp as it should be on the tachymeter scale, but the image is not the highest resolution so that may be affecting it. It doesn't look faded, nor do the hands - so combined with the wrong back I'd be wondering whether they might be after-market. Is the seller saying 'all original'?

Thank you.
I did about an hour of research myself and believed what yo confirmed about the caseback. I'll post a link to a great site that really helped me out (assuming I can find it again). I passed because the caseback issue, which leads to all the what elses is wrong. Plus there has seem to been a lot of 8110 coming out of Mecico lately. I believe the seller said "all original never refinished".

Yes, case back is from the octagonal model as stated above. While doing a quick search found a second example very similar to this one. Octagonal case back on a different model.
