Sweet Fancy Moses! I would definitely like to know what happened to that watch, and if the wearer survived the process. Wow!

looks like an industrial accident. The arm probably wasn't still attached to the watch afterward.

Don't polish. Scratches just add character.

I'm kind of thinking that its a have ago watch repairer from a developing country using a hammer and screwdriver approach to opening it... as the front is not chewed up, I have asked so await a reply.... if any

looks like it was viced from the 6 oclock lugs and someone tried to force the caseback open with a chisel and the crown as leverage.

clearly didn't know it was a screw back.

still worth $3-$4k in parts.

well his response was....

I do not have any history. This is how i bought the watch. I cannot tell you if the movement is fixable. I really do not know. Its more for spares.

not sure if id pay £3-£4k for it knowing the sellers track record for selling less than useable parts in the past.

case replacement, no doubt. They would not bother with anything else. It would be more fun to see what an independent could do with it.

Indeed what it looks like. What an idiot.
On the bright side an independent could probably work some magic.
