It looks okay to me. Plus, judging from the seller's lengthy feedback, a phone number, and a store front, I think you are in the clear.

Ask them if they'll throw in the Breitling in the last photo... Seriously, though - the watch looks 'genuine' but has badly mis-matched hands - so you would probably need to factor in replacing them with a matched set at the next service - the 'orange' second hand would irritate me. The don't show the movement which is always a concern. I would suspect that this watch needs a serious service and overhaul and you should factor that into what you are prepared to pay for it. As commented by others - feedback of seller is good (but not perfect!) so if it is a dud and especially if you pay with PayPal you may be able to get a refund, but if it runs +/- 30 seconds a day and needs an expensive service that makes it much less of a bargain unless you factor the cost into what you're prepared to pay!
