I know nothing about the brand or watch. Does it have a generic ETA? I would go for it if that is the case. And you really like it, it seems like a fair price and the seller seems trustworthy.
I actually like a whole lot about this watch, from case shape to dial text layout, but my policy is to always tell people to keep their money.
This is one of those companies that was only around for about 20 years. I think Rado bought their desiccated husk in the 1980's. I have come close to buying one a few times. They have some funky 1970's models. I think that they mostly used Schild or PUW movements, but that is more of a @MrBloke question. Definitely get a look at the movement before you decide.
I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet(on a buying ban) but they're cool and I'm hoping in the new year to get one (birthday in January),they've a decent reliable movement in them and if your looking at the same place as I've seen then it's NOS so all it might need going forward is a bit of modern oil and away you go. For the money I think they're great value, a near 50yr old watch with pure 70s kitch n vibe some funky designs,plus near perfect condition, yeah go for it.

A bit earlier, on the 9th hoping the wife will get me one. Funny I have looked at that exact watch,love the case shape. I did read on another forum that tressa went bust and there were hundreds of the watches in a warehouse and were left there for years and then a guy from Germany bought the lot and started selling them,now they're being sold from the UK as well. Do a bit of research as always Google etc, but they look legit to me,and leave at least one for me lol.

I like the “buying ban”
is that self imposed ?
I try it now and again but the voice in my wrist always persuades me to get just one more.
