It seems suspect to me that someone selling a multi thousand pound/dollar watch can't be bothered to take even half decent photos.
The photos are not only terrible, but the hands are obscuring the most important parts of the dial. The OP didn't mention the reference, but I am going to guess that this is a 1675, in which case the bezel insert is definitely not original. Either it is an authentic replacement, or aftermarket. The lume in some of the hands (e.g. the minute hand) seems a lot lighter, so that needs a closer look. I'd also like to know more about the bracelet, e.g. if it is a 7206 or C&I.
it also lost a fight with a buffer. not the end of the world but I always am very diligent when I consider buying a watch that has gone thru a serious fluffing. Price is going to be key in that purchase. You got to buy it seriously under the money and not expect it to appreciate like a more honest example.
Seems a bit of a shame to be buying a heirloom off an old lady, to be just flipping it for profit...
you should be willing to do your own research if it’s purely for a personal profit benefit.

If she is only able to sell it locally, she may not have a lot of options. And she may prefer the cash to having an old watch sitting around indefinitely.
why do these pictures seem so familiar

yep you're correct as the OP had posted the pics in a previous thread when he was first considering the day date.
