    Have you seen the movement? Don't need to be an expert to see what looks rust at the bottom of the dial. I wouldn't put in a bid, cheeky or otherwise, because you might win it.

    Where do you see any rust?

    TBH, I don't see rust, rather some discoloration. What do you think? Is this a watch worth buying?

    I see no rust Eric. Are you browsing on a telephonic device?

    No, I'm on a laptop computer device. Look at the last photo close up. It may not be rust which is why I said "what looks like". Is that a reflection of something?

    Yes and a little to the left. If it's not, I stand corrected.

    And in any case, you're on the ball about a movement shot.

    Take a risk or wait for confirmation.

    And if the movement is great? What do you reckon a reasonable price for this piece? He quoted me a whopping USD580.

    No, just my observation although not eloquently put (blame James Jameson ;)).

    I agree there is some crud at the six to seven and that it would be a good idea if the OP got a clean hi-res movement shot before dropping the dough.

    It is curious that it's only visible in one photo.

    Angles, shadows, refraction? That's why good clear face and movement shots are essential.
