Hi folks, there's a 815 being offered for sale. I think the dial and hands look correct, (I think its not a redial) but the seller describes the watch as having a 'restored movement'.

Would there be any red flags in this watch? (especially in the movement).

Thanks in advance!

movement looks perfectly correct, assume seller is referring to a "full service", including apparently a new main spring as he shows the replaced spring in a pic.

case, dial and main hands correct too; the orange chrono sweep is a modification, not original, but looks great - and can be found if u prefer it w/ the thin silver sweep that was original to the watch.
