Done.
Let me know your thoughts.
The Crown looks correct to me, but, once again, I'm not an expert.
It has the rounder Omega version with the upswept feet on the Omega.
And it looks like it has 24 teeth (but your picture could be clearer to be sure).
Here is a thread where they talk about the correct Crown types on the 69 model.

I have taken a few pictures, but am unsure if this what you are looking to see. let me know.
There is a little play between the lugs and the bracelet attachement. Do you experience the same?
How about a wristshot? Hard to tell if there is a gap from these pictures.
So far nothing to worry as far as I can see...
EDIT: Sorry didn't see you already posted wrist shots...
Again, nothing to see that should worry you 😀
I think it’s worth saying that obviously a fair deal should be fair to both parties.
Any watch has a range of values, and while condition is the most significant part, the status of the seller also plays a part when I’m valuing a watch.
If you’re buying from a dealer, you (should) have the convenience of being able to pay by card, a warranty, a return period, a recent service, confidence in their sales history, the ability to view good photos, the convenience of having it shipped out to you so you don’t even have to leave your sofa as well as the fact that the dealer will price it.
When buying privately in an extreme example you often have none of this. You likely pay cash, sold as is with no returns, no warranty, you’re relying on your own knowledge to satisfy yourself everything is correct, the photos are often terrible and it’s often the buyer who has to come up with a price and then drive to the seller to pay and collect at a time to suit the seller.
It goes without saying that people should absolutely not low ball or try and rip naive sellers off, but i don’t expect to be paying dealer prices if I’m the one putting all the effort in and taking all the risk.
