    Looks like a 505 with a replaced rotor, 17 jewel instead of 24 jewel adjusted

    Thanks, @cristos71 that looks like a likely explanation.

    Sells vintage watches, has been on ebay since 1998, but still didn't realise neither the dial nor the movement is original? I would trust that seller about as far as I could spit a rat.

    What is the matter?

    Everything is SIGNED! :rolleyes:

    But the disclaimer is the best get out of everything.

    To quote:

    DISCLAIMER>>>> I sell antique, vintage and used watches. I am not a watchmaker and do no watch repair work myself. I sell all my watches as-is and as found and as pictured. If you are looking for a re-conditioned watch you are shopping in the wrong place. If you are looking for a new watch please go to a retail or fixed price auction. I sell with NO RESERVE and everyone gets a good deal that you decided to value. Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason for return. I do not sell fakes or knock-offs. If you do not trust me please save your bid for another seller. New Rule... If you bid and win you must make payment!!! No excuses. I do not cancel completed auctions. Thank you.

    Not only signed but 'Offecially certified'. I seem to remember seeing this handiwork on a previous thread.

    He's funny! Actually "if you are looking for a re-conditioned watch" you are in exactly the right place. But only if you are not bothered about the quality of the "re-conditioning".
