Possibly a scammer, or possibly someone who saw a pristine condition vintage watch going cheap and thought they could make a quick buck on a flip not realising that fully renovated watches are not actually worth that much to collectors.

I did list on ebay…..but buyer didn't perform....and yes it is a fully renovated watch....wish I could have lived with the original piece but it was in such terrible shape for its age....
