I am looking at this watch on eBay
It's interesting to me as my dad used to have a seamaster 30 and also I was born in 1963. Any verification, views etc on this watch from experts would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Mark

 

Geee that dude needs to find another wrist to showcase his watches! Oh! and the watch looks like a redial from my quick glance!

 

I agree re the hairy arm!!!
What do you mean by redial ?
Thanks

One of the most popular models of those times. I think that the watch was produced in 1964.

I think the dial is original

 

redial means refinished - however looking at the pictures on a larger screen I have doubts about this. I'm sure others will chime with a better assessment..

 

Thanks Rafal,
Does the -63 at the end of the ref number note indicate it was made in 1963?
Thanks for all the other info, regardless of age, does it look likea good buy for £100 ish ?
Thanks

 

Dial is fine, crown is incorrect

 

Reference -63 is the year of production

but the movement number indicates the year 1964. Possible that the watch was produced in late-1963

 

Thanks Rafal.

Speedbird, thanks for input, could you let me know some more detail on the incorrect crown?

 

The crown is an element that was replaced at the service. Unfortunately crown this watch is very worn.

 

Thanks all.
What would be a good price for this watch??

 

...for the time being the price is acceptable but it might get higher due to the relatively good shape.
Gold filled case though...

 

I see a few red flags.

1. Seller sold the same watch on earlier listing and received feedback from Buyer.

2. Recent feedbacks from unique Buyer.

3. Location of watch.

Although there's nothing here that could not be explained, and perhaps Seller has good reasons and not not evil motives, but these are plenty of red flags for me to stay away.

 

Avoid this one. Too fishy and too wrong. A good, solid 135.007 can be had around $450-$500us sans bracelet

 

Yup, he could be on a beach in boardshorts and you'd think he was wearing a fur coat.

 

That arm is horrifying, absolutely horrifying. There should be a disclaimer on that link

 

I didn't know Cro-Magnon man wore watches!

 

Is this a problem that in some cultures, hair removal for men is not accepted?
I do not understand ridicule and intolerance.
