Look, this is a vintage collectors forum. Not a vetting site for lazy People, who don't want to do their own research first and come back then to discuss. Kind regards. Achim

It would be interesting to have a sticky thread about how (and how not) to ask for help. Not that newbies would actually read it, but at least we could point them to the thread after the fact so they could perhaps understand why people are reacting badly to their posts.

Pay no attention. Vintage watches attracts quite a few grumpy old men.
They could just choose not to comment, so pay no attention.
Nice watch by the way but wrong hands.300-500$

These 'grumpy old men' helped thousends of people and saved them at least more then 100.000 of dollars. What did you do?

Look. When I walk into a store to ask for advice about some antique watch I dont start asking questions straight away. First I introduce myself, then I tell something about the watch (provenance, etc), i tell what my research showed me and eventually I ask questions. A forum is just like real life. The same courtesy rules. If OF was only a pricing service we would charge money for it.

It's about manners, not about the nature of the question

People who don't know what they're talking about might also choose not to comment.

Original dial 2846 "big logo"
That is a stunning watch - such a clean and harmonious design. I am on the hunt for a no-lume 50s Seamaster. Is this one in your possession or is it just a picture from the internet?

Funny, even as a non-expert I can recognize what likely is a good quality redial (not perfect, for example some of the applied markers are slightly off). It doesn't look like there was any intent to deceive, as the hands are obviously a modern take on the original design, the typeface is bolder than in the original, and though one can't be certain from photos, the dial itself seems to have a textured finish characteristic of quality modern redials rather than an original. The case looks polished, not overwhelmingly, but enough to buff out some significant scratches. In short, of no real interest or value to serious vintage collectors, but with a nice classic look that a non-collector might like, and likely would have to pay much more than $300-$500 for, at least at any retail store I've been to.
