The pictures are terrible, but I think there's a nice watch hidden under all of that poor photography. Looks like a mid-century, 32mm manual-wind Tissot, with a black dial and raised markers in a steel screwback case. Hands are original and correct. Crown might be a replacement. Some spots on the face, but I think that's the crystal:

Nevertheless, I would ask the seller for more pictures, outdoors in daylight. BIN of $250 is reasonable; seller says it works. It might even have its original mid-50s (aftermarket) strap, which has the classic wide single keeper.

Deleted, im very sorry
It is appropriate to take down the post, but not a major offense since you were transparent about it.

This has a BIN of US $135. It may need a service but it looks to be in good condition and these 37 mm Seikos with no date function are lovely watches.

Two more gems from the same seller:

A serviced Enicar with the original signed BOR bracelet and the crown with the cool Saturn logo. This one is quite tempting to me but I am trying not to grow my collection.

A cool serviced 70s Tissot with original bracelet. The blue dial is great. Another very tempting watch. Somebody buy it before I do!

All steel Waltham automatic diver, with a cool tritium dial and a great 36mm size.
It deserves a better bracelet or strap and I wish it didn't have a date, but it's not bad for the asking price, and the seller accepts offers.

Nice 33mm steel-cased bumper from 1945 at a reasonable $150 buy-it-now. It certainly needs a service, as it looks like one of the bumper springs is missing and it likely needs a new crystal. But this watch sports some elegant leaf hands and raised numerals on a clean sub-seconds dial:

My favorite detail on time-only mid-century watches are crosshairs ➕ like those on this manual-wind gold-filled Tissot at a bargain BIN price of £80. The moving hands (which are correct) indicate that the watch works. On watches this cheap I don't ask the seller to remove the caseback, lest they scratch the back trying to get it off with scissors 😬. Instead ask for some more pictures in daylight to check for wear on those lugs. The dial has a few spots but they may just be shadows from that scratched-up crystal, so ask for some side-shot photos from different angles as well. Treat that watch to a service and a soft leather strap, and that's a reliable dress timepiece for years to come.
