    Hey guys, I've got my sights on a Seamaster Deville for $540 and I figured I should consult you guys before I pull the trigger (or don't). I have a few concerns I would like to voice with it.
    Here's an imgur album of the photos I've amassed from the very cooperative seller:

    My concerns pertain mostly to the dial:
    1. Looking at other photos of this specific sunburst dial, it seems like it is too large for the case. It looks like "Swiss Made" may be cut off at the bottom, and the tick marks appear to be too close to the edge of the bezel.
    (See watch on the right for reference)

    2. It appears as though there is water damage in the upper right section of the dial, however the movement appears to be in good condition and not water damaged.
    3. I have suspicions that the crown may not be original (no Omega logo, but I'm not sure if this model did not include it.

    Apart from those issues, the crystal is signed, and the dial seems to be in good condition apart from those issues, and the case seems to be original as do the hands.

    Thank you guys!

    Most likely just an incorrect crystal and or reflector ring covering part of the dial. Just because its signed doesn't mean its the right one for the case.

    Crown is incorrect.

    Do you have a shot of the case back?
