Hi all,
I've been recently offered this De Ville, could you please share your thoughts on it?
I quite like the dial, seller claims watch being all original down to the glass, I am a bit dubious about the crown but not sure.
Thanks for your kind help, cheers

Having owned a similar model before, I think Seamaster de Villes with this dial + case configuration originally came with a different crown? (Something along the lines of this random photo)
I never get tired of looking at the iconic hippocampus on the caseback 😁
Case seems good condition, crown I think is incorrect, dial also looks to have patninad to a brownish rather than sunbust silver. Personally for me it is a pass. However, depends on how much you like it, and the price.
