Seen this Seamaster in a local shop which I can get for £750. Been after. 60’s crosshair dial so ticks the boxes.

Condition looks good. What do you all think?

It’s not a good picture of the dial but I’d say it’s likey original.
A better picture is needed to assess the case condition as these are prone to losing their gold plate, particularly around the lugs.
Price is too high for me but depends if you’d rather pay in time or money

Judging from that picture, I think £750 is a lot of money for that watch.

Thanks for the replies.

Didn’t get a photo of the case but didn’t show anything concerning.

What would you say is a fair price for this?

Is the crosshair supposed to be discontinued around the logo and the seamaster?

That’s certainly a tell for Connie’s and earlier dials with crosshairs, but it’s correct for these mid/late 60’s 165.002’s

Not sure if the quality is a bit better now as had to downscale previously. The crosshair bit seems consistent to what I’ve seen previously.
