Don't know if it looks ok, seems to me Cartier would do at least a little effort in finishing the movement, looks almost like a non modified ETA one

If the deal seems good, I'd walk. They are too easily faked. Dial shots would likely tell more.

That partial faded engraving on the back would worry me.....
This does not happen in Cartier's workshops

Nice!

Always safer to get from trusted dealers vs ebay!
