I'm not a vintage expert (and this one will probably be moved to the right section when it's seen) but I think there's not enough printing on the dial. There should be a model name or a depth rating on the dial, especially on a diver's watch. Or shouldn't it?

I'm moving this to the vintage section, but unfortunately I'm tempted to move it to the replica section - this isn't right. Serial number dates it to 1950, which even the seller didn't try and claim, the engraving on the movement is clearly erong - it's not the same engraving style as the seventeen jewels. Dial may be right, but this is at best a frankenwatch - sorry.

Hmmm, thanks so much for the input. Probably will send the seller an email and bail. I would rather pay relisting fee's than have a fake.
