    Well it appears an honest piece. It is not a redial. The rotor appears to be just starting to slightly rub the case back. A good watch maker can take care of that, probably needs a service anyway. The 564 is a great movement. The case has the bumps and dings of its age, but it does not appear polished and that is good. I would not worry about the over polished bracelet, probably did not come on it. A nice strap would enhance the watch.

    + 1 to what @cicindela says, not a redial to my eye. Stars on caseback in very lovely shape too. Minute hand missing the Lume, otherwise a nice one.

    I quite like this one too.
    Not pristine but nice all the same.
    The dial may have been cleaned as there are a couple of minute 'ticks' missing
    Bracelet definitely not correct.
    Needs a nice 19mm strap.
    Good luck if you bid.

    Hi iweiner,
    +1 to what said by all senior OF members above, gasket of the watch case is missing. A new one is essential to keep the watch water-tight.
    Good luck in bidding!
    Cheers,

    It tends to sit in the case back on the round cases Connies - which is where it is in this one.
    But the watch will need a service anyway - so should be replaced then.

    A good honest watch at a decent bid price (for now).

    Thank you. That is what I thought but VAT makes it a bit expensive. I really appreciate your help and time. Best.
    I will have to start selling some of my watches to keep going on
