    Hi guys,

    Hoping you can help me vet this watch. Asking price is approx. USD 450. I'm not familiar with these watches, but I find them nice. Is it legit? I'm not so sure about the crown as it seems to be bigger than what I've seen in my research. Thanks!

    Good watch...but i think you should go for a Connie from the same era 67/68 as only about 30k were made each year...they should hold their market price better than a Seamaster...

    Try to find a Connie for $450 ;)
    The seamaster chronometers are few and far between
    No idea about the crown
    Factor in a Service and a new crystal
    But I think the OP's watch is a steal

    Btw, OP's watch looks great - I'd have pulled the trigger at once, had I been given the chance :)

    It was a lucky catch at a local gold purchaser in, I think, December 2014. It was more like $400, too ;)
