    What do you need advice on? You already bought the watch.

    For one, it appears the bezel has been replaced with one the wrong size.
    It will be hard to replace.

    The dial looks to have been cleaned, to the point that the minute markers and half of Seamaster are gone.

    Dont you ever get tired of being rude to new members? Why should any one post here in a forum for help, discussion and advice, if they just get an answer that they can do there own research?

    You're right. Thank you for being my conscience and setting me straight.

    As was mentioned above, I'm afraid your watch is a bit of a mess. If you like it and would wear it, by all means keep it. But if you are able to return it, you should consider doing so.

    Regardless, welcome to the forum. :) If you are at all interested in vintage watches, here are a few threads worth reading:

    Learn How To Fish
    For The New Members: Read

    Once you have absorbed that information, then take some time to read through the various threads that catch your interest. See what other members like to wear. Soon you'll gain an understanding of what is wrong with the watch you bought, and what to look for on the next watch to buy.

    Well, don't be discouraged. It would only be a terrible mistake if you paid a lot for it. It looks cool and the movement seems clean...I see potential there! I bought an old Constellation for cheap that everyone here told me was garbage, but with TLC and a good watchmaker is now resurrected! That watch had no bezel at all and was missing two gold hour markers. I've just seen pictures so far, but it looks amazing! Could be same for you!
