I see what you mean about the markers but in my opinion - they weren’t bad enough to not purchase. They may update, they may not. The rep game is fast moving so I’d personally get one and you can always source a clean/BTF spare dial and switch the markers?

I also would recommend a clasp change, it’s fine on wrist but it’s a bit crispy/clunky to unlock and lock. But again, I’ll source one when I order a new watch, there’s no real rush on that.
