    1. Gunk on bezel is cleanable, but some like to leave it to show age.
    2. I would ask for movement shot before spending money. If seller doesn't want to show, then move on. Besides, you'd want to know if it is cal. 352 or 354 before making an offer anyway.
    3. Lugs look correct for a Ref. 2648. These were always rounder and thinner than the later Ref. 2782, 2852, etc.

    Hope this helps,

    Good legs.

    Hour hand inlay looks a bit inconsistent in the pics, maybe it's the crystal. Do the hands match the gold colour of the markers?

    The lighting isn't flattering, think it's a nice piece. If it was a pie pan, it would have been mine instantly.

    Seems like the hands don't match the markers.

    I agree. I have asked the seller about it and I have not heard back. It is hard to tell, but are the indexes a little longer than normal?

    A bit hard to tell from the pics, but the hands seem to be from a Seamaster model. Rose gold plated, unlike the YGP markers. The hands also seem to be 13.5mm, not 12.75mm.

    Followed this one and thought about it but getting pickier with the condition at this point. This was a pretty nice example though with the even dial patina.
