This would be better in the "Watch out" Section.

But if you read the description the Seller states it has many "added" parts.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think anything other than 100% genuine is permitted on eBay.

Items are supposed to be 100% authentic but many items slip through. At least this seller was honest. Most of the bone heads on there try to sell there fakes as genuine.

It looks like the seller disclosures all the replaced / not original parts. IMHO, it's very hard to buy vintage watches. Have you herd about Bob Maron?? The famous watch dealer. After "investing" a huge ammonite of money in watches, John Mayer has filled a lawsuit against him cause. Reason: some watches have replaced / not original parts.
