·Greetings!
I bought the watch off of eBay awhile ago and intended to post earlier, but work opportunities and priorities took over as the COVID situation developed here in Japan.
The seller received the watch as part of an estate he purchased. The watch shipped out from Texas to where I am now in Tokyo. I purchased it for roughly $350.
I'd like to know whether the watch is legit (based on the admittedly limited information I can provide), and if so, any kind of identification information. I won't be crushed if it's not legit so feel free to be as critical as you'd like. If it is real, I'd be considering restoration, so feel free to throw in any thoughts on that as well.
I don't have any tools to open up the back, so I've provided the images that I can here. I'm aware that perhaps this isn't enough information, but figured it was worth a shot. I'm open to buying the right tool or other at-home solutions, as well as anything else I can do to make identification easier.
Cheers!
