Buying advice for a Seamaster

It's a Ref.165020 with a Cal.552. That's my guess.

Thanks everyone for all the help! I did end up winning it at a price i am happy with. I will update this thread when i recive the watch.😀 Does anyone know what type of movement it is inside this watch? As it is hard to open. 😉

First purchase buy auction is always risky, but it seems you were cautious !! opening it will need a real watchmaker, I would advise you to bring it to one instead of trying it yourself.
Overhaul it's a nice piece enjoy it !

Don't know the ref but I also think it's a 552 movement. Congratulations on your very nice "new" watch!

Yeah, im not planning on open it myself i was just wanted to know what type of movement that could be in the watch. I know that this is a automatic movment, but can it be handwound aswell with the crown?
