Thinking about buying this GMT. Buying from an online dealer. I asked to see the movement and open the watch up but apparently it’s a hsssle? Is this an unreasonable ask? Does this watch look ok?

I am a private party and I have a submariner. It is NOT that easy to open without the right tools and to close it with the proper pressure to ensure water tightness. If someone is serious in buying my watch, I would take it to my watch repair guy and pay him to open it and provide the buyer with a set of photos and video. But even with that, you can’t tell if it’s a high end replica. Matching numbers on paperwork is useful. Buy it through eBay. They authenticate and guarantee and buyer is not paying for it. You just have to wait a while for the process.
