    Surely he would state if it were solid gold?

    US cases usually do not have the hallmark on the lugs, but would say 14K of 18K gold or gold filled between the lugs themselves. The seller may not notice it, but the appraiser in this listing would probably have had a careful look inside as well as around the case in order to put up that amount.

    164K euro only - it is a bargain!

    But this is not the only one from this seller - see his listings... lot of "minor" watches in this price range.

    And here another must have:

    Yes it is. Even if it was a nice original dial the price is still too steep.

    If it's on eBay, then it must be rare, it's the centre of the rare universe.

    Ansel Adams could take the photos of the watch and it would be still be worth maybe 2% of the asking price.
