Well, I am going to add my opinion which may or may not be shared by others and may not even be correct, but its my opinion on what I see.

If you are sure the serial said 5.2 and the seller refuses to allow you to post even a partial pic of the number then my opinion is that the case is from the 60's and he had it re-engraved to use this dial. I have seen sellers with older Gilt cases do this because they have money tied up in a watch they cannot find or afford to purchase a Gilt Dial for, so they have the case re-engraved to match whatever dial and movement they have.

Lets do some trouble shooting, this is fun..

If you pull out the crown while the watch is running does the second hand stop or continue moving. If it stops then the movement is earlier than the case and dial because it hacks when it should not hack.

Next, take a look inside the caseback. If it has a date then it isn't correct to this case or serial number. It should have no date and just say 1675.

Lets try and figure it out..
