No papers but seller is willing to go to a local ad to comfirm its originality

From the pics, the case almost looks too clean. It's hard to say if the watch is near perfect of it had some restoration work done (lazer welding).

Again it's hard to say but from the angle provided the dial looks great. It looks like it may have had a t39 service dome put on at some point.

Good idea, have it looked over or get some better pics.

Keep us posted

I'm sure someone who knows more will chime in. Does the dial look like a latter replacement?

Ok this thread can close now... Checked some background and the seller is a known scammer and pics were hijacked from another site
Sorry to have bothered you with this

That sucks Rob, better to have found out now though. Might want to post this in the watch out section here.
