I've been offered this watch, love the look but I can't seem to find a match on Google anywhere for that combo or the crosshair dial and the Arabic numerals at those positions. Anyone know anything about whether this is legit?

Poor pics but first thought is a redial

Not being able to easily find the exact dial is common. You have to look closely at the print on the dial to know if it is original or not.

That's my thoughts as well. Here's a few more pictures.

Unless it’s being given to you. Take a pass on it,

Case is toast. Lots of wear to it.

Only good thing is the movement which is nicer than the case

I agree, I think that's probably the reason for the blurry pics too, tryna hide the wear.

Yeah I'm moving past this one. Missed out on a near mint condition in an auction, was so disappointed but I'll have to be patient.

Except for a small number of rare models. Pretty much the rest are always available.

Take your time.

Yeah I've just decided to be patient. I'm honestly really keen on a vintage seamaster anyway. Getting one of the 1940-1970s era Seamasters is the grail for me. But of course the key is the condition.
