·Dear community,
This is my first post here. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for the immense knowledge shared which is very helpful for rookies like me who are fascinated by this world.
I recently purchase my first vintage Seamaster (166.002) from 1968 on Catawiki and had a couple of questions.
1) I noticed that the SWISS and MADE signs are not aligned. You can see that MADE is slightly higher. This sparked some concern and while researching I came across another identical piece from the same year with the only difference being the colour of the dial (black). As you can see in the pic the MADE sign is similarly slightly higher. Does anyone know why is that?
2) The previous owner claims that the watch was serviced less than half a year ago. However, I notice sometimes that the second hand stutters between certain areas (from sec 3 to 27). Should I be concerned in terms of need for immediate servicing?
Looking forward to your inputs! 😀
