I don't know GP well but this watch case looks like it's had a tough life. Notice the pitting on the rear of the lugs from sweat corrosion. Even from the crappy ebay pictures it looks to have been redialled, which for me would be an absolute no go. And I agree, the movement looks shagged out. Plus the seller hasn't a clue about this watch - I'm struggling to believe this is 1960s judging on the case design. Anyway, I see no positives about this watch...
If you're a fan of this style perhaps take a look at Breitling ref 1191

There's a Girard Perregaux I'm watching on ebay I REALLY like. But it feels like it's actually gone up in price even though it's not selling.

I quite like this vintage Girard Perregaux chronograph but not sure about the condition vs price. eBay link
Anyone care to give their 2p on it or answer some of my thoughts?
Is the crown original? Oil stain on the center of the movement implies a DIY lube at some point? Why is there so much wear on the upper Chrono button? Strap lug thingys look to have taken a scrape at some point? Should the sub dial hands be different? Etc
