Hi OF members, I could use some advice on the following watch offered to me. A 1966 Seamaster 145006 with 321 movement. Watch seems to run accurately. The Tiffany logo on the dial was added. I'm by far not an expert as most of you are. Any comments on overall condition and what would be a fair value for this one? Comes without any documentation but with a spare dial (original).

 

Case is horribly overpolished. Wrong hands as well?

Here is one I sold last year for comparison

 

Wrong hands and they almost completely removed the bevel in polishing.

At the end of the day price matters but I’m guessing it’s also high. These prettied up non collector pieces almost always are high.

 

Thank you all so far for the input. As always, value matters hence my question for fair estimation. Next to this, I am also checking out a 145016 tomorrow. I don't have many detailed pics of that one but here's at least one. This one is completely restored by Omega, meaning zero patina. And with a 861 moment of course. So if you would compare both, what would be your preference and estimated values? Decision will be taken tomorrow (1 both or none) so your input is highly appreciated.

 

Wrong hands again...

 

I would vote for "none," but that is because I like watches to be as correct as possible. The first one is a non-starter IMO on many levels and I don't love the second. Why rush to buy an inferior piece?

 

Thank all of you who gave input, much appreciated. I will follow your advice including the no rush one.

 

The first one also have little scratches on the subdials. Think it caused by removing the hands during service ?
