I am looking at this for 4,000 at a local pawnshop. He is trustworthy but not that smart. I worry it is a zombie. 1976 model on the ref. Number. I think the saphire and bracelet have been replaced.

More photos needed to help you- back, sides, bracelet markings, inside Caseback with reference number, and movement With serial number visible.
Is it working including chrono functions?
Service history?
The seller has it priced toward top end for this reference so need check it out further with above.
Dial and bezel look pretty good as a start.

Here is some more info regarding these 76 watches

Non-stepped dial with flat link bracelet is an odd combination, would be good to see the case-back and serial

The bracelet could be a significant part of the value, so we would need to see good photos of the clasp, blade engravings, endlinks etc. And don't take anything for granted if you think parts may have been put together.

Not necessarily a fake but watch, but rather a watch composed of other watches from the same brand.

Ah ok. I’ve never heard the term ‘zombie’ being used. ‘Franken’ is the usual term.

chatgpt:

• Zombie: Dead, reanimated, brain-hungry.
• Frankenstein’s monster: Constructed, revived, complex, literary.
• Cher: Very much alive, glamorous, and capable of defeating both in a dance-off.

You need to find a way to fit a movement and hands in this and get it running.

I think he meant to say that it's a werewolf watch.
