Im looking for an all original Seamster 300...thoughts on this one is on Ebay...is this a re-lume?

The hands look like replacements for a start.

 

Dial looks decidedly dodgy to me.
Clever photography of the case back, hiding the important details.
I'd say a Franken at least.
I'd steer clear of that one.

 

thanks...something looked wrong to my untrained eye. I appreciate the advice.

 

At best, a re-lumed dial and hands and that huge gouge in the case back worries me - how on earth did that happen? The scratches on the bezel are also un-attractive.

 

Do Seamaster 166.024's have magnified crystals over the date and should the date have a white border? I'm still learning so don't take my word on this!

 

Don't know how valuable this link is -

The dial not having a white border round the window is the giveaway on this one. The numbers are too big as well.

Great link, thanks.

 

Thanks, very helpful.

 

This looks better, just a bit too rough for my taste:

I agree, think I would struggle to live with the bezel and I'm not sure about the crown. I could live with the hands and dial.

 

The hands bother me more than the bezel.

 

Wrong hands. Wrong crystal. Wrong dial. Bullet hole in the back. No movement pics. Premium price. = no bid
