    I am strongly considering purchasing this watch for 600 USD or so. Need some help regarding watches originality-dial/hands/movement etc... How does it look? Does it seem like a decent deal?

    I'll let others comment on the rest, but I would count on a service when you buy it, and based on what I see it will likely need parts...

    Cheers, Al

    What parts do you think it may need?

    Usually with that much wear from the rotor scraping the inside of the case back, that means it's been running without service for a while. This usually translates into many worn parts - mostly in the automatic winding system, but can also mean worn train wheels, etc. These can pretty easily need $300 worth of parts...

    Think it's worth even buying?

    Shouldn't the regulator spring have an adjustment screw and a rounded bit at the end of the spring.
