Bill, it was an observation as the movement pic looks different , like it is copied or photographed from a printed page
look on the left side of the page, like its cut off like a magazine page and the quality of the scan is like its printed , not photographed

Rene, you are definitely right that this pic is from a catalogue or book, still does not change the fact that this is most probably the movement used in this watch (the alternative would be the Valjoux 7734, now this would definitely seriously reduce value and credibility).

Maybe the seller doesnt want to open the watch and the movement photographed from an earlier taxation report or something ?
But I would definitely want a real movement shot before committing to buy
