Pictures are too low quality to give a value over gold scrap value.

No dial or movement details.

Movement and case appear real from low quality pictures. Nothing else can be gleaned.

The photos are bad, but I think that the watch may be worth pursuing. There seems to be some pitting on the dial, but it appears to be fairly evenly covered, and you may find it acceptable in better photos. Similarly, I think that the case appears to be fairly sharp, and I'm not seeing any obvious red flags in the movement. It could be worth your while to get better photos. Of course if the seller refuses, or blames the poor photos on his iPhone (which seems to be a typical excuse), you will be left with a risky decision.

The first photo is good enough when expanded to see that the dial is original and so are the hands. It looks to me as if the visible damage is mostly or all on the crystal. There is some light spotting / frosting on the dial but nothing too serious. He calls the movement a 601 in the description when the photos clearly show a 600, but it, case, dial, hands and serial number are all compatible. The price does not seem outrageous for an 18K SDV in this condition.

The question indeed is whether the apparent scratches between 4:00 and 5:00 are on the dial or the crystal. Too much of a gamble IMHO for such a high price. You’d need side pictures of the dial under a differnt angle.
