This watch looks OK .

Endlinks for a 1002 on 7835 in 1974 should be "257", it's difficult to read on these pictures. Springbars need to be replaced but no other apparent issue imho.

257 and 357 are both OK. 257 is a single link , 357 a double .

257 is more usual.

Thank you. Seller also says could be 351 but i think 357 if you look at the links. Says comes with certification. Does the pic of cert and sticker look authentic?

it's more probably 357 with the "7" looking like a "1". 351 endlink attach to bracelet 7835 but 17mm. Yours is a 7835 19mm.

Papers and sticker you show us look OK for 1974, but a picture with them opened would be better.
