Thanks guys but I've decided to take a break from this Forum. On the whole, I've met very nice people and I've had a great time, but there also seems to me a current stream of negativity which is not appreciated. Not every watch is perfect, that I know. But when I rescue a watch, like this Seamaster, that was going to be traded, and perhaps ultimately scrapped for gold value, just appreciate it for what it is. I also got criticism for one of my Constellations Because it had a repainted dial. So what, it's 60 years old. I didn't buy it for its dial, I bought it because it had Cal 501 which was missing from my collection.
Anyway, I presented the watch as it is, I did not request information before purchasing, I bought it to enjoy. It's not a fake and I may send it to Bienne for restoration or maybe I won't.
Anyway - that's my beef and thanks for the good times!
