Hi all, this one really caught my eye. Since I'm no expert, what do you think? Looks legit?

movement looks ok , but the dial and caseback look weird

Fred has (much) more knowledge about these , hopefully he will chime in as well

weird but correct, I think; early 60s I'd assume; I'd ask for inside caseback pics. one of those cases where Paul would leave then case alon; I'd probably replate.
problem is the seller, likes to bend the truth; we had some people buiy from him and end up w/ questionable pieces.

Actually I'd probably replate this one since it really hasn't got much going for it so better to have the best possible appearance. If the watch doesn't have a serial number I'd probably date it to the early to mid 1970's.

I've posted buyer beware on this seller before.

Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies. I will move on then.
I do have a weak spot for gold cases from that era, what do you think about this one? What would you estimate it at?
