Genuine or not?

Looking at it, as closely as possible from the poor pictures...

Studying the available ebay purchasing habits of the seller...

I am of the opinion that while the majority of the parts may very well be original, the seller probably assembled this watch himself.

The movement, although hard to see, has accumulated a LOT of nearly parallel scratches (at nearly right angles to the Geneva Striping), meaning it was probably uncased for a very long time and stored poorly... or was packaged and shipped poorly... however, it is mostly bright and doesn't show a lot of other age that we would expect to see (check the wheel finish opposed to the scraped up bridges)

Compare the Crown against the Case... crown is well worn and nicked... case is nearly unblemished, but doesn't look 'polished', case back is nicely scratched...

And, if the dial is aged, as it is, from an apparently compromised case... where is the similar damage and age to the hands? (and movement, for that matter)?
