Hello everybody, I just wanted to check weather everything looks original with this watch. I have seen posts about parts that get switched and the watch isn't original.

Please try to look up other examples of the same reference (165.008). Are you able to find any with the Seamaster text in the same style as the one seen here?

If you concentrate on the script of the Seamaster you can rule out a lot of redials. An original dial is very crisp and you will recognize the different fonts right away after you look at 1000 or so.
