Sorry if I am a pain with all my questions...still learning and don't want to make a mistake.

I like the idea that this one has been serviced/restored but wondering about the re-lume. does that help/hurt value? The numbers in the triangles at 3/6/9/12 just look a bit "off". 3 seems to low, 9 & 12 look to be touching the outer edge. Pix are not the greatest so perhaps it is just that, but wanted to check with the experts first. Having a steel band is nice, I realize it is not original/zodiac.

Thanks, can you tell me why so I learn a bit?

The dial has been relumed and the numbers added and not even close to the way the originals look. In my way of thinking, that is no better than a re dial. It looks terrible. The bezel looks pretty bad also. Looks like he did a pretty good job on the end pieces of that generic bracelet, even if it did take half a day.
I'll also admit that I'm prejudice. There is no way in hell I'd buy a watch from someone that listed a Sea Wolf for $50,000 and claim it was military issued.
Have you ever heard the expression, "Buy the seller, not the watch."
Best,
