    Hi Guys
    The bug has bitten and I have found this Seamaster available locally for $120-00.
    Is it worth it?

    I wouldn't. This watch may have a lot of needs. You could get lucky and find out all it needs is a cleaning.

    Dial is too far gone to save, and most collectors won't touch redials.

    Better off to spend more and get more IMO.
