So this is where I will show my ignorance.

Wouldnt the time difference, including the travel of the sweep hand, indicate the movement is at least not rusted out. Seems like the watch was handled and it started to run?
You can have a watch that the time sets but does not run. That just means that it isn't locked up. Still a lot wrong with it - depending what's right will determine if the buyer got lucky or not.
