Scam or no scam?

Now that's somewhat disgusting, but at least I'm now waiting with baited breath (whatever that means) for the answer to the question.

I went to look it up and this was the example given in the dictionary:

With ​

bated breath

, they went to the mailbox every day ​

:doh:

If it doesn't show up then pp dispute will get your money back. As we all know the buyer is always the favorite when it comes to dealing with eBay and pp!!

Lol..I actually videoed her giving me the box just and me opening it, just in case there was nothing in it. I won't post her pic though but she's actually not half bad.

Typically "baited breath" comes from eating fishing worms. B-)

Ok, so not as smooth of transaction as I hoped for. I removed the back to check the movement and it has a gen 645 but the rotor is removed to be a hand wind. I knew the watch was a hand wind but thought i was getting a 600 series. The 645 is more desirable of a movement but... Not what I thought I was getting. Both movements are correct for the watch. Here is my question, are there any issues leaving the 645 as a hand wind? I searched the web and don't think there is a problem but just want to check.

Was the rotor removed so the back would fit correctly? For what it's worth I've been hand-winding a rotorless 2824 in an SD for about 6 years with zero issues but it might be different with a vintage movement.

It's got a bubble back case back so the rotor should fit. Everything I read says it's ok as well and it was just serviced by a watchsmith in tx the way it is. Just wanted to ask the question.
