Thank you pcscam, I got this one from Angus at Puretime. Overall I would say that the watch was in good shape. There were however some issues I had to get fixed.
There was a smear inside the crystal, a loose CG lever, a poorly aligned CG as
well. And several metal shavings inside the case when opened by h_u last week.
If you have the ability to fix your issues, if you have any, then I say go for it.
The movement is very nice (7750 asian) and very smooth running. The rotor is extremely
quiet and the bezel also works well without any fixes there. The date wheel rolls the date correctly as well. It comes on a very nice dual deployant rubber panerai strap. Oh
and it glows like a torch!

Yeah, I would try the second hand market on here.
You can find some really nice ones here sometimes.
Don't be afraid to be patient cause the rubber deployant will work for now.
