Hi guys

could you help me with this watch please? Was hoping to find out a little more about it and in particular the dial as I’ve not seen one with a textured dial before so not sure if it’s original.

suggested value and general facts would also be appreciated.

thank you

Yes.

Notice the "S" in Seamaster notice the CALENDAR under it.

It takes a brave person to try and pull off a redial on a waffle dial.

And they didn't do all that bad a job. The little curlicue on the bottom hook of the "S" is sort of flamboyant...

The curl was the first thing I noticed, then the alignment of some of the markers, but you're right, one of the better efforts.

Almost, but not quite.

If you're not a fastidious collector, this would be OK for a daily wearer.

It's a reference 2757-3 with a caliber 355, serial dates to around 1955, crown looks original, movement looks to be in good condition, dial is a "Clous De Paris" (or "Hobnail) guilloche pattern.

No idea of value.

Also the 'swiss made' text is missing on the dial.

Why spend all these efforts on doing a redial, if you don't do a relume?

It's more of a 'common' waffle dial Jim.

Here's a waffle and hobnail side by side
