Hi all,

As some of you may know, I'm looking to get a steel Seamaster, I particularly like the 60's versions. I have found the one below. However before I go for it and make an offer, I'd like your opinions on it.

Firstly, the dial picture is not the best. However, from what I can research it seems correct. The font looks correct and I think I can make out the serifs which are usually not present on a redial, as they are hard to do. Broken crosshairs are not unheard of with this generation of Seamasters/geneves, so all in all, I think the dial is in good condition.

The overall condition of the watch looks good, which is a good sign.

movement from my untrained eye looks clean, but this is where I am at my weakest. The crown seems correct for this model, as I have seen it on good examples here on OF.

Please let me know if you spot anything that could be suspect.

Could just be my eye but the E and the M + Crosshairs and Omega symbol dont appear to be centralised with each other but it could just be the photo.

And I saw this similar beauty that seemed to correspond, although the hands are different, and this example has had lume added. omega-seamaster-ref-165-002-steel-vintage-wristwatch-circa-1966-wxorcr-v01-1280x1280.jpeg
