I'm not so sure why this one was such a mystery. If we study the photos carefully, we see that inside the case-back, there was a watchmaker's mark that said "bezel". To me, this confirmed that the bezel had been replaced during a servicing. I imagine that the case-back had also been replaced at some point.

Some people just didn't like the seller's way of doing business. But in the end, I believe that the photos, with this "bezel" marked in the case-back, told us what we needed to know.
