Case 17 — QC photography: what photos actually help verify a pre-owned listing?

Clarifying question for the thread: is the goal to check authenticity, condition, or both? For condition, the request list above is enough. For authenticity, you also need caseback, serial or reference engravings, and ideally movement photos. Movement photos usually require opening the watch, which a seller may reasonably refuse without a watchmaker present.
