·I don’t think this seller will be in any rush to accept offers around the starting price. If it was me I would bide my time and see how it goes.
Personally I don’t think it’s worth a great deal more than where it is now.

Don’t want to click? Basically I asked about a very similar watch back in the dark ages of 2014. A reply of note came from @gatorcpa who said:
“Yeah, I'll go with original also. It's very hard to reproduce that type of textured dial at a reasonable cost.”
Of course each watch is different but still. Also, mine doesn’t have the “T”s.

·A "fair price"is whatever you're willing to pay. Only you know that.
This site is full of collectors who will wait a decade for a bargain. If you like it and you'll wear it every day, and you're willing to put aside $100 a year for its next service, then have at it, whatever you're comfortable with.

··Melbourne AustraliaVery nice watch with an original dial.
If it was me I'd just snag it and eat cat food for the next three months.

·Ref 125.007. I've seen grey florentine dials before, but not white until now.
The speck to the left of the 5 o'clock marker is interesting.

I think it's a piece of lint.

I think when you see a sea of crap it’s hard to tell the good ones- this is one of them. I have a couple that look like this- and it’s what we all want.
We can all guess at what it’s “worth” but 60’s Seamaster’s in this shape are not as common as many would have you think- some kind of “patina” (aka damage) is the norm. I would put a premium of 20-30% over average sales prices just for the dial condition and if you really want it- do another 10%. I have gotten some great deals during my collecting, but the best of the best I have paid more than I thought was sane and never regretted it.

·Congrats - I think it looks a nice watch and it’s clear that it will bring you pleasure. I think it would look even better on a smarter leather strap, but that’s your call. Wear in good health!
