Considering buying this, would love any insight as to its condition, etc. it’s a 14390-61-C? Asking for pics of movement. TIA!

Looks nice, but poor images

Appears to be a redial, but not a rare model and looks fine based off poor image.

You can tell as luminous in hands (which looks nice) is far more aged than dots on the dial indexes

If the price is reasonable and movement clean. Worth owning

You definitely need better pics, but dial looks legit to me.
You should have a cal. 285 inside.

The seller certainly can’t do anymore damage to the back of the case by opening it up and getting a movement shot. And I’m a bit put off by the photo distortion around the lettering, and I’m not entirely certain the hands weren’t painted as opposed to aged lume?

I dunno... many folks here have been pleasantly surprised to buy a watch in better condition than the photos would suggest, but these are seasoned collectors. My advice to a newish buyer: bad photos + no movement shot = walk away
