I'm pretty new to watches and have enjoyed learning from everyone's postings on this forum as a lurker up until now. I've done a lot of reading and internet window shopping over the last few weeks, learning both about watches themselves and my own personal preferences, in preparation for buying my first 'real' watch. I was hoping for some advice from the experts here on the condition/authenticity of the below watch I am considering: LINK HERE

I have read through the thread at the top of the forum here about what to look for in a vintage watch, and also looked at a lot of other examples of 60s era 120s online to compare details. The overall condition seems decent to good, with the dial looking particularly clean. The color of the dial is very dark black with no immediately visible defects, so makes on wonder about a redial, however the text *appears* original? Lume looks very good as well. Unfortunately none of the photos are extremely close up, and no photos of the movement or inside caseback. To my novice eye, the engraving on the caseback seems correct. The numerals on the bezel appear correct, but can't really see serifs (maybe hints here and there). Wondering if this may be because the photos aren't super close and/or they have have rubbed off? Any help or thoughts on the above or the authenticity of this watch would be very much appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for embedding the pics, @redpcar. The numerals on the bezel look close, but w/o true closeup pics, there's not enough there to convince me 100%. The dot at the arrow on the bezel looks shockingly clean. The rich black of both the bezel and dial, and condition of the lume are almost too good to be true. Could just be an extremely clean example, but all the other sold ones I've found online with real closeup pics don't come close to being this clean.

Pics of the inside are needed
For $1900, I would like to see an extract, too

The photos in the OPs link are actually quite large.
