Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Let's start with what we see - mangy hands and a clean looking dial - that screams redial right there - which brings the name into question immediately. No consider that the seller has a feedback score of over 4,000 and as sonyman notes is a jeweller. You have to figure that he know how to sell watches by now.

So, why no caseback photos, why no movement photos (he claims that the movement is signed), why no model number, why no serial number - you get the idea.

No name watch with a refinished dial to be sure.

Pretty much agree about the dial. I always look at the two's to see if they're exactly the same. There is some tiny diferences in this one and I think it's an older redial. The case and hands look ok for a fifties model. Still wouldn't be interested without a pic of the back and movement just to be sure.
