How accurate is it. What is the service history need to be known.
I would, but first see the mouvement to really be sure. I like this Ref to!
the quality of image is just BAD. Did the seller take it with a Nokia N95??? I don't really know this movement, but there is no reference number on the rotor plate, not sure if it's normal for this movement.
Just my opinion, but in uneasy event like this, I would rather pass and wait for the next chance. Yes it might be a missed steal, but it could also be a dodged trap.
Indeed. In my opinion its always best to dodge harm than risk for reward. I may just sit on this a moment. Im still in contact with the seller and have asked for the year of manufacture and if its been serviced. So we’ll see. Ill keep you guys posted and see what tips you guys have.
Thank you so much for your input. Its been very very helpful.

Yes, completely normal for this movement. The caliber is not on the rotor.
The case back should have engravings - both versions of the case used on this model had engravings on the case back, so if they are not there, they have been removed. BTW this is the first version of the case.
Please ask the seller to send you the full serial number, and post it here - I'll double check it to be sure this isn't some kind of franken. The fact that he sent you such good photos of the watch, but then a crappy photo of the movement, makes me feel uneasy.
Knowing someone’s opened it with needle nose pliers.
I would have stopped looking 15 minutes ago. 😉
Thought the horse was dead 28 hours ago.
Well they called me after my last email after Archer gave me his input. I agree with what you said but I dont want any decision to be made with haste even the decision to pass it up. So im just seeing what any further advice people have with this new information from today. And your advice is what has kept me from pulling the trigger.
Also I told him about the damage on the notches and he said that in person there doesnt seem to he any damage or indication that pliers were used as if that were the case the damage on the notches would be more substantial.
They basically said it was near mint apart from the caseback.
The same advice from before:
"The case back should have engravings - both versions of the case used on this model had engravings on the case back, so if they are not there, they have been removed. BTW this is the first version of the case.

Look we are willing to help you, but if you want anything other than what's been said, you need to follow up with them and get the serial number. Otherwise, you need to "shit or get off the pot" as my mother would say...
I’m done here, tried to help. But seems your intent on listening to a shady salesman that’s trying to flog you a watch that is just not right.
See you in your next thread.
“ Bought the watch and now it’s stopped “
