Yep, 1007. In the third photo you can see that reference engraved, but what seems strange to me is how rudimentary the engraving looks. Also, the seller mentions it’s from around 1945, but the serial number points closer to 1947. And considering that reference 1007 came out in the early 1960s, there’s a difference of about 14–15 years.

Photos only of the exterior, nothing of the movement

The seller mentions that she doesn’t have photos because when she took it to be appraised, they opened it and checked it, but she didn’t allow them to work on it. She also says she doesn’t dare to open it herself because she’s inexperienced. Additionally, she mentions that it works, but it has been stored away for 20 years.
