Been looking for a decent M50035 for a couple months now, and this one popped up for sale. Overall, it looks clean, but I am most concerned with the quartz movement. Seller has not claimed any service although they did say it received a "light cleaning." Here are a couple pics. Thoughts?

Also, I have only seen the all black case and bezel. This one has the black bezel and face but steel case, and the crown looks strange to me.

Thanks

Watch is real, crown is a replacement. It's a quartz movement - looking at it doesn't tell you anything, it will need to be tested.

Thanks Roff. Guess I'll see what the bidding gets up to and make a decision that way.

Any particular reason of why the crown is out?

Hello F14D_Tomcat,

Yes, in order to take a correct picture (no move of the needle of the second hand).
I needed a "clean" picture of the watch.

Best regards,
