The Bonhams one was SS or something, the one in the pics above should be solid gold and its a Melbourne XVI, if its 100% original its worth decent money, over $2K usually on the bay

That's a big IF its all original, the XVI dials are usually far from perfect, that one looks too white and new.

Redial. I've looked at hundreds of these when I was chasing an example for my collection. That's much too white, the SWISS MADE is way too high and too far apart, and the Seamaster doesn't have the dipping r.

The Bonhams watch is a frankenwatch. I know of no Seamaster XVI's made in any other metal but solid gold. The dial on that one may be original, can't tell from the picture.

The watch above seems to be correct in all aspects except the dial, which is an OK refinishing job. I would want to make sure of the movement condition before offering to buy. If all is correct under the hood, it's probably a $1K watch as is. Maybe a bit more, as the case seems to be in very nice condition.

Now if you could only swap dials with the Bonhams watch.....🤔
