A very nice 7909. Serial dates it to mid 50's , 34 mm case and 19mm strap width. I've seen the same ad as you and suggest you ask for a few more pics, maybe one of the crown and if possible one of the inside of the movement. The seller needs to give more about the wath in question and less about comparing to Chrono24 ad for a totall different watch. A copy of the recent service receipt might be a good idea too!

Thanks Roger.
He did attach a receipt for the repairs done, by 'Independent Goldsmith' on W12th in YVR, ( haven't been to them b4). The repairs included 'Movement Cleaning, Overhaul and apparently a new crystal as he states. No pics of the inside/movement. Have to presume the shop is up to par.
On the fence on this one. Not like I have money to burn, tho it's temping.
Looking at other possibilities, for 1952...just b'coz..!
