    If you're after a black dial, Dennis may be able to hook you up... at a price...

    Sounds good. Now, I'm still pretty new around here. What's Dennis' forum screen name?

    He'll probably drop by this thread eventually or you can ask him over PM, not 100% sure he's selling it but I /do/ think he may be tempted...

    I have no idea whether its real or not, but I do know that it looks like crap aesthetically, way better ways to spend $600 (entirely subjective of course, I wouldn't pay $600 for a Hublot either)

    Hmmm...::confused2::

    Dial looks nice and aged. Seems to be some kind of "baby Speedmaster" design. Movement is correct for the case. If you can find another one with the same dial, movement and case reference combination, it could very well be all legit.

    I've not seen a dial like that before, and I've seen a lot of watches with this case reference.

    Just not sure about this one,

    I know this seller, he knows what he sells and gives correct description. A Seamaster with original black dial powered by a quickset 565 in that nice condition is not bad at all .
    Give him an offer and see.

    I've seen that watch before around the forums. I think it's okay and looks like a fair price.

    As far as me selling a black dial...... well, you'd really have to offer STUPID money for me to part with my Constellation 2943 caliber 504. :D

    I flirted with flipping it to fund a solid gold hooded lug Connie GL but when push came to shove it wasn't the right move.

    Thanks for the offer. I'm just not crazy enough to offer stupid money for anything. Nice black dial though. Pressing on now.:D
