Yes agree - it needs to be (mainly) original, i.m.h.o that's the key.... not a bit/lot of case wear...£8k if orig.is a true steal !!
The caseback is likely service as stated, as would have been date stamped up to circa 73/74 unless it's a later case with an earlier dial (but that would be unlikely as a Singer MTR first floating dial is worth £5000/6000 alone, and would be very odd to fit it to a earlier case ...we'll know when serial no/engraving forthcoming of course.
