At $7000 I would expect full set- boxes and papers.

That looks good to me. Nice matte dial and good even patina.

The case back didn't start life in this watch. I don't like it.

at first sight :
--back ( if genuine ) is a later replacement ( quite odd that letters look engraved and not punched .. but this could depend on the pic )
-- dial indexes look badly relumed

Plots look re-lumed to me, and odd case-back

Not to pile on ... but what's up with the side of the case with the HEV? Is it just the lighting, or are there odd waves/crinkles in the metal? Haven't had my second cup of coffee, so maybe it's me. Doesn't look right, though. Price seems a little high.
