    Hi guys, I've done a ton of research between this forum and Google in general. I'm considering buying this Seamaster but think it's a Frankenstien. I'm a hobbyist and enjoy these watches!! I can't see the serial # but asked for it from seller-1957 ish my guess? My questions are
    2849 3(I think, can't read well in the pics) SC ever a 24 Jewel movement?Were the 24 Jewel movements being made at the time?
    Seamaster Cal 562 --- no calander script below Seamaster. I've seen a few like this but what years did they do this?
    Back of watch no Seahorse but reads Seamaster at top and waterproof below. Again mid 50s?
    Arabic 12,3,6,9 but is this Dial correct. Thanks in advanced-This is my 2nd Seamaster but it seems odd

    Am I right in saying that it's even missing the bezel?!

    So I did a bunch of research on this Dial and movement. It leads me to suspect the watch is a 196? ST 166.0002/ 002-The 562 movement 24 Jewels is correct but I don't see a lot of the dials with the Arabic numerals. I think the back plate of the watch is just the franken part. Here are some pics I found searching that led me to this. Any thoughts would be great!!! I just really like this dial!!!
