I purchased this dial about 2 years ago thinking it was correct for my 165014 Seamaster. I now believe it may be the wrong dial due to the "T" that I've read should not be on a watch my vintage. Can anyone tell me what this dial matches up with?

 

Well it’s not a original dial for a 165014, that’s for sure.

It has a 59 marking, so the dial should have been produced in 59 for a 552 movement. It looks very strange and is likely a very bad redial, with a mix of different markings from later SM300’s, like the numbers 3,6,9,12 as well as the T marking. All markings on the dial are also too thick and the number 300 is way off for any reference. Someone else can also chime in on more details, but these are my observations.

 

Reprint IMHO, the original 2913/14755 dial was radium and the plots where sunken in to the dial, they are obviously printed on this dial

 

Thanks for your help... much appreciated! I paid a big price in an eBay auction for this dial and I'm learning a very expensive lesson. I own a decent 165014 that already has a refinished dial, so no reason to have this dial refinished. I don't intend to rip-off someone else, so I'll relist it as a refinished dial. Does it have any value?

 

This is a redial that has been made on a genuine plate IMO.

Does it have any value? No, I don't think so.
