What caused the water ingress is the question but most likely a crown not screwed down.
No sure the same logic applies. You can't accidentally remove the glass or scratch the lume? Oh well, the important thing is that OP is content :)

After obsessively inspecting the watch the day I had it I also notice a scratch on the movement. Very hard to see but it was there. So I do think the watch was opened and fixed for some sort of damage.

Anyhow. I'm glad I'm now getting a BNIB. Can't wait.

Well I finally got my BNIB 5164 on Friday and couldn't be happier. The whole ordeal turned out for the better, instead of a preowned watch I got a BNIB for a superb price. Here are some photos, and thanks everyone for the support and suggestions.



And the the whole family
