My dad loves Seamasters and I'm right about to purchase this one for him. It's got a beautiful dial but I have no idea when it's from as I can't find an exact match. I believe it's probably from the 50s, but could be from the 60s. It could also be a redial, as the markers could be an indicator of being badly applied (they look too close to the hour markers).
Does anyone have any idea about this as I would hate to get him a fake watch.

Thank you so much!

I’m not sure it’s fake, but the dial does looked artificially aged.

Is your dad a tiny weeny man? This model is 30.5mm across. It is basically a ladies watch.

Haha, he's a stylish guy. He wears a few smaller ones. Last we spoke he said small watches are in at the moment

Yes but small for a man runs to 34-36mm, like most of the full size 1950s-60s output. This is literally a women's sized watch. Your call but it will look daft. I suspect it is cheap, but it is cheap for a reason.

Sorry but I don't agree.
In the '50s the diameters were increasing but that was still a men's size.
