    I doubt this watch has been worn less than a dozen times...it looks like it's had a pretty significant polishing done to it. The dial has also been refinished which diminishes the value. Would pass unless it's really cheap.

    v_sher28 - Wasn't he banned?

    Watch is an over polished piece of shit just like all the others he pawns off with flashy photos and bullshit descriptions.

    that guy still has an account on ebay. the guy whos selling it bought it from him. regardless of the polishing could it still last me a while without having to worry about functioning problems or not keeping time?

    Don't do it, you will be sorry later. This is an over-polished turd with a terrible redial. Here's an example of how it should look...

    "Seamaster" isn't even close on the one you posted and "De Ville" doesn't have the serifs.:(

    No banned here, but that wasn't his user name.

    I think it all revolved his belligerent attitude when called on his instance on saying a dial was "original" if the metal slab came on the watch. Goes back a year or more.

    Its not that Darlor watch guy from Canada? He went on a bit of a crusade on the argument that his poorly refinished slabs were 100% genuine metal slabs.
