    This looks pretty clean to my untrained eyes (I think!!) would be great to know your thoughts. Dealer looking for $525. Does this seem decent price?

    Case is polished, dial is refinished & the movement is 10 years older than the case? Which country is the dealer from Amir?

    Thanks @Bumper
    It's a US dealer, Sacremento, California.
    Will pass this one by!
    The search continues....

    Honestly, if that watch looked good to you I highly recommend you store your wallet safely away while checking out watches on the internet. Spend some time reading through threads here on OF, like "Learn How to Fish", and review as many "please assess this watch for me" threads as possible. You need to learn yourself how to pick up on movements that do not look like they have been serviced in a long time, dials that may be refinished, cases that have been polished, etc. And anything you find on a dealer site is even more suspect (for the price) then the ones you see on eBay.

    Thanks @BlackTalon.

    I think I will indeed store my wallet for now, or stick to buying from this forum.

    A fool and his money are often parted as they say!! :)

    I've had a look at the Fish thread and while I can at this stage pick some I know are crap, the majority look OK to me, so do indeed need to spend far more time learning.
