Seller admits that it is a redial. The movement is in a sorry state, it can't have been serviced recently, look at the grime and the position of the regulator. Also the shape of the case, especially the lugs, of the 2544s I get with a quick google search is different. So it might be a franken but I don't know that reference.
My bottom line: Avoid.

Thank you for your valuable info. I will avoid this.

Just start by avoiding redials. Easy hint: if a dial looks off compared to the 25 you'll find on google it is a redial.

I’ll add that this is not a 2544 case it’s a 2505/2506 case with a different caseback
