    Hello,
    i was hoping someone might help identify this watch. I know it's a automatic Seamaster that rose gold. No idea when it was made or anything about it.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's a refinished dial so it might not be like the original, which makes identification hard. If we could see the inside of the caseback and the movement we could tell you exactly what it is. Do you feel thumping as if a coin is bouncing around inside it?

    Thank you for the post. I'll be disappointed if it's not an original dial, it does however thump when you move it. I'll have the back removed to help with the identification and repost a photo.

    So we know it's a bumper from the 34x series then.

    From the design of the case it could well be a Cal. 332 also... "Seamaster" on the re-done dial does not match the case design at all!

    Hello, well I final opened the back and this is what I found. Probably a dumb question, does the fact that the re-done dial doesn't match the case mean the watch has no value?
    Thanks for any help.

    Man, that looks like "332" on the movement. I don't see the same springs at the bumper stops as there are on my 30.10:

    332 is correct with covered springs, introduced ca 1950.

    One of the issues with the earlier arraignment was the attachment screws tended to work loose, this was eliminated with the covered springs being within a cage of sorts.
