About to buy my first vintage watch and was wondering if I could learn from your experiences!

My main concerns are:
1. Are the dial and the back correct? Don't think anyone would fake a Wakmann but I just haven't seen this dial and back combo. Also the dial looks suspiciously clean?
2. Correct crown? I don't think I have ever seen that crown on a Wakmann. Anyone with any insight?
3. Seller says that stopwatch function does not reset correctly. Is this a major issue or can be resolved with servicing?

Thanks very much in advance

all looks perfectly fine - but make sure to check what he means by “not resetting” correctly.
This can be a small issue like an imprecise return to zero for the chrono sweep - or quite costly and tough to fix if the hour our minute counter do not reset at all.
