A friend saw this on marketplace and asked my opinion. I’m not good with vintage so i said I’d ask the experts. 500 seems ok but I’ve been around here enough to be a skeptic. Thanks.

Looks rough. It’s hard to be sure what marks are on the crystal and what are on the dial, the crown is wrong and the lugs look like they’ve been chewed by a fixoflex bracelet.
$500 should get you a good one of these. This isn’t one of them.

$150 for the movement. Case goes in the garbage.
