Hi everyone!

I was browsing watches for sale and came across this old seamaster which appears to be in very good condition. The seller says that they have recently serviced the movement (cal. 565) and based on the pictures, it seems to be in excellent condition. The seller says that the watch dates from 1967.

I would like some advice as to whether it has been redialed at all and if the crown is original. Nothing seems particularly off to me but I am by no means very experienced in gauging this so any help and advice in establishing likely authenticity would be appreciated!

Unfortunately it’s a redial plus a few other issues.

Also @Noddyman what other issues are there?
Its been overly polished, the lume in the hands doesn’t match the dial and there’s signs of the rotor rubbing against the caseback.
If it’s any consolation the crown looks correct though.😀
