Hi, I’ve had this Seamaster for a few years and would love some opinions as to whether it’s a redial or not. Serial suggests 1967 vintage, and while the markings look like military variants I’m not sure about the logo, which seems painted or printed on. Any thoughts?

I would say yes. You can see that the dial really doesn’t fit in the case as it should. It appears that there is a small gap in some areas and you can see the very edge of the dial.

That case is for a 265…

Redial. The Swiss Made tells the story. Nothing fits together here ...

Ah, that’s disappointing, but not totally unexpected. Thank you all for your comments!

One more question: I like it and do wear it, although it’s a bit small for my wrist (but maybe I’ve just been thrown off by more modern 40mm+ watches), but what might it be worth like this if I were to try to sell? Anything?

You’re asking the wrong crowd really. No collector would pay anything for it due to it being a franken with a redial but a non collector may pay a couple hundred of more on ebay
