Here's an interesting one. Looks pretty good. No problem with the dial or back but the size at 38mm minus the crown sort of stands out. I'd say he's got that wrong and it's probably around 35mm or 36mm judging by how the movement fits in the case. The serial number says 1956 and the reference number 1190 is good and jives with the date. The lugs are a little oddly shaped too but not beyond the realm of possibility for that time. A bit pricey but it also says best offer.

Not everything from Argentinia is faked. This watch is absolut genuine.

I have the same, but from Italie, not Argentinia. Compare the photos:

Well it may be right, but I'm not buying from Argentina.

To me the movement looks like a reasonable fit in the case, but look closely and it's not perfect - the top screw is barely contacting the case.

The Venus 188 is a 14 ligne movement, so 31.6mm or thereabouts. Based on that the case does look closer to 38mm to me, but that's subjective.
