Here is my 1957 Oyster Perpetual.
Looks like the movement is good.
Not sure about dial and case back.

I agree. Your inside surface of the case back looks just like what I would expect. Watchmakers over the past 50 years left markings of prior servicing.

Note how clean the Zephyr appears. Doubt seller would have a pristine inside case back.

Lettering on the inside of the case back of the linked photos looks poorly done as well, more scratched and engraved than stamped as Imono's. Not what I'd expect from the time period either, though that is just a reaction and opinion now that I'm comparing the two.

movement looks good, rolex did use this lettering style on older models, however the ones i have owned the engraving looks much more precise
