Perhaps I've not been clear or perhaps I'm being dippy. Probably both!
I have no idea what is inside the case. It might be a decent, working movement relating to the serial number on the extract. That would be awesome. Or it might be the same movement, but badly rusted and water damaged. That would not be nice. Alternatively it might be a different, replacement movement. That would not be nice. It might even be a totally fraudulent, quartz movement! It happens. That would be a disaster. I'd simply like to know which of the above it is before I throw my money at it. Am I being weird?
And re buying Rolexes, I tend to buy new rather than vintage (or occasionally secondhand off people I know) so I've never bought quite like this before, viz a stranger who can't show me what's in the case.
