Icon6 Authentication help! Cop or Drop?

Hi everyone! I am new to these forums as well as the watch game. Looking forward to being part of this community as I just found collecting watches as my new hobby. I am looking at a Vintage Rolex Marconi circa 1930. Should I Cop or Drop?

Seller is in Argentina which kind of scares me. Listing looks like it will sell around $700-$900. Should I be worried about how good the condition is
? Any replies will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is the closest watch I have seen with the same dial. "Rolex Marconi Special 1950’s Manual Wind"

Until you are not longer new to this forums and the watch game, only buy from someone you can trust 100%. And never, ever wire money.

What size is it? Looks like it has lugs added to a pocket watch.
