Looks fundamentally right, but I'm not sure on the movement ring, or indeed the movement. It almost looks like a modern movement in a correct case, but I'm no expert on these three handers so let others weigh in. Crown is a replacement, but no big deal there.

I agree with Roff. It could be that the movement ring was damaged or went missing, or in fact that it could be a replacement movement for the original.

Its definitely a modern ring though or a made to measure ring added later. Not many watches of this age would have been made with modern POM plastics. That would not put me off however, but the originality of the movement itself would be in question. Has the seller made any further comments on the movement?
