Concerned that the caseback appears to only have a four digit serial number. Hands appear to be replacements, but correct style - obviously the running seconds is broken. Dial appears OK to me, but others will confirm, the movement photo missing is a big deal for me and makes price very hard to comment on.

seller might be one of those afraid somebody will copy the number to mass produce fakes - assuming there were vintage records available to verify the correlation of serial number and model :o

running seconds might be "broken" due to a long exposure time ?

suggest to get a movement pic b4 u commit to buy; dial and sliderule are correct and nice, so if the movement prooves correct this would be a very fair price.

I think that you're right, does look like there may be a slight blur in some of the shots.
