Couple of points on this one:
1. You are correct, this is not considered by collectors to be a "pie-pan" dial. In 1958, the pie-pan dials were reserved only for the Constellation line. This watch has a very nice and original two-tone Seamaster dial.
2. This is US market watch is a US made 14K gold case that has been polished. These are considered slightly less desirable than their Swiss counterparts.
3. The movement is a cal. 490 with 17 jewels. Specifically made for US export, due to extra customs duties on watches with more than 17 jewels.
I think $800 would be a fair price for this watch, but I doubt your seller would agree.
