This one makes me chuckle. I think it's a legit Navitimer but it's had a hard life.

I don't know what has happened to the dial- clearly a refinishing that appears to have been aged artificially. The note the screws on the movement- maybe one or two is original- the rest have clearly rusted out and been replaced. You can see the rust staining on the plate and an accumulation of rust on the back of the case. Some steel parts have been cleaned up and others have had the rust polished off- not an issue at all if the seller is up front about it but maybe he/she doesn't know the piece's history.

He's a seller in my opinion to avoid. He knows what he's selling (in my opinion of course)

Love the description "minor wear "

Yes, I've noticed over time he's sweetened the deal by adding an original manual. :roll:
