Hello OF,

I purchased this Seamaster, knowing very well that the crown (and I hope only the crown ) was incorrect.
Since I have zero experience with this watch, can I ask what is the correct crown for this watch/ movement? So I can look for one.

Picture of the watch below.

Thanks for any help :)

Would you mind posting a clear face-on photo of the dial with the hands moved. Let's get a good look at the dial before you start down the path of paying for a restoration.

I thought I had a photo of that but I don't :(
Guess I have to pay a visit to my watchmaker.

Pretty sure that's what he's saying. Look at the clarity of the letters and the length of the coathanger "S" ... plus the crosshair actually goes outside of the subdial.

Yup, that's not original. Safe yourself the trouble with the crown and try to return the watch.

Bought a while a go for cheap. I'll still add the crown, don't like this one :)
