Unfortunately, ‘original’ can mean different things in the world of vintage. It without doubt original Rolex, but not original to this watch. At that money, I’d expect all to be original (or as close to) as possible. As is well-known, the 1655 had many variations in a relatively small amount of time and finding an all-original piece is a struggle.
