Please show us some pictures, Josh.
Sorry! I forgot the advice that links expire and photos don’t.
I asked for photos of the movement, but the seller says he doesn’t have tools to remove the case back

There are a number of Ultra-Chron motifs here but you'll need to do some Googling to find this combination. I wouldn’t buy a watch like this without movement photos anyway. I think you did well to bring it to the forum first. (And if an expert calls in to say it's real - well, then we all win!)

I own only one Ultra Chron but regularly look at what’s going.

I’ve not previously seen a two-tone blue cross-hair dial and I am suspicious. The seller doesn’t go into detail about the dial but when compared with the condition of the hands and case, the face looks newer. I’ll defer to others but I strongly suspect a fantasy redial.

So far as price is concerned, at USD 900, it’s a little more than many of these are worth, not enough if it’s genuine and I’m always suspicious about 'no returns'.

I’d look elsewhere.

I have seen this dial style before and believe it to be legitimate.

Highly unlikely you will see a movement picture, as this is a front loading case and requires special tools to remove the crystal and bezel.

Price is way too high for what it is, even though the dial is cool.

I think that seller is way overvaluing the box, as I do not think it is correct for this watch. Should be an Ultra Chron box.

The fonts on the dial look suspicious to me. The Ultra-Chron logo is printed. If you look at similar watches, it always comes as kind of a badge.
