I was perusing on ebay and bought this watch for under $900 not to be confused with the Elvis Anniversary/MIB3 edition (all black).

Would love to see one of those. http://hamiltonwatch.com/en/gents/american-classic/shaped/ventura-xxl-elvis-anniversary/H24615331

Key features:

Swiss ETA mvt. (I think Valjoux 7750?) which can be seen partially from the front, and can be the seen through a window on the caseback
Red highlights from 12 to 3 o'clock position
Hamilton Ventura engraved rubber strap
5BAR.

That's a very nice watch you got there, movement is an ETA 2824-2 if I'm not mistaken but definitely not a 7750. It was featured in Men in Black. :)

Screw missing under the display caseback once its removed? Sure looks like it.

It's just a piece of the movement holder, it won't cause any aesthetic issues, but that is a stock picture anyways you can be 99% sure you will receive it with the movement holder in place with all screws there.
