Could i ask your thoughts on whether I've bought a redial here?

If so it's my own fault for not asking seller before bidding!
Much appreciated.

 

I think it is a redial... but let the experts weight in.

 

Agreed

 

The movement is also in very poor condition with broken regulator with parts missing entirely.

 

Also what is up with regulator?

 

X350 beat me to it

 

Straight forward return, "item not as described"

 

The regulator should have a swan neck, like this:

 

newbie fail
But how can i argue "item not as described"
on the basis of "very good condition"?

 

Can't possibly be in very good condition when parts are missing.
Good luck whatever course you decide to take.

 

Thanks guys. I will return.
And I'll chalk this one up to experience and remember in future to always ask for opinions before bidding on the bay.

 

In addition to what has been pointed out already, the rotor has been rubbing on the inside of the case back, and there is some black goop on the teeth of the crown wheel visible in one photo. So absolutely this will need both a service and repairs likely.

 

I am sure most if not all of us have been caught out at some point, all part of the learning curve.

 

not to mention that the auction seems to be manipulated. i think user CK (7) is the seller

 

How do you spot this?

 

Seller agreed to cancel. Thanks to all in the forum. A lesson learned
