Can it be true?
I am far from an expert but this movement shot...

Specifically this detail...

You could tell someone was using a dull end mill perhaps. Would a gen movement exhibit this?

what I see

1. the mag on the crystal is over magnified (cheap aftermarket)
2. the dial and hands are way way too clean
3. the back side of the case (where the end links sit) .. look pristine ... a vintage watch like that would have dent marks ... so, I would say it's either an MQ or Phong case (it does have the proper groove machined inside the case where the movement would drop in)
4. the bracelet is plastic wrapped ... you can see plastic also in the clasp. (how Rep bracelets come)
5. not enough detail photos of the case, nor detail descriptions provided
6. he says "revised 2019" ... but says nothing of what was done?

Just clicked the link and it seems that someone liked what they saw. Either that or it was withdrawn.

It looked to me a cartel case. Even a well protected NOS can't be that clean. I'm no expert though

And it's not original. It was made by Radiomires.


I know because I can identify the construction, paper and texture.
