Would appreciate opinions on this 2577. Is dial original and does it pass the "MOY" test? Does case look correct? Is movement correct? All opinion/observations appreciated!

I never know Seamaster has MOY test. If it is so, I think this one pass it. I vote this one original dial (not redial), nice waffle.
2577 come with 351 and 354. 354 is correct, since this one is chronometer. The case is still sharp so only little polished during its life. Early type Case back without seamaster logo.

I vote this one a very nice target.

 

After placing bid, noticed something odd about bezel...what do you think?

What do you think about originality of dial?

 

Now I see what you mean by the bezel, it is thicker than usual. Never see like that before.

 

Can't see any SWISS or SWISS MADE at the bottom. The dial may be scratched beneath the hour hand or that could be some crud where the lume used to be. If it is a scratch or mark on the dial the seller has tried to hide it. I think the dial is an original and the case is sharp but the movement looks like it has seen moisture and like Mike has said, buyer beware.

 

Bidding on watch for dial, hoping to recoup most of money after swapping dials. I think movement will be in running condition. My main concerns are the dial and the strange looking bezel (almost looks too sharp around edge). Not sure I've seen a 2577 with a bezel part separate from case.

 

There is something odd with the case. First, the bezel is wrong. Second, the edges of the lugs are too sharp. If you look at NOS examples of the 2577 you will find that the outside edges of the lugs do not have such sharp angles. Personally I would stay away.

 

Well, I've already bid. I have a stainless Seamaster chronometre 352RG with a poorly refinished dial. What would you guess 354 movement would be worth? Assuming dial is original, I might still come out alright if I can get it for $370, shipped.

 

The bezel and case look like they were machined poorly, nothing like my 2577! If you get out bid I'd let it go for sure...scary looking, this case doesn't look right.

 

Definitely something off with the bezel, the bevel is wrong.

Dial is OK, decent price considering but not a bargain.

 

Here's a legitimate S.A 2577 18k gold case, powered by a 351 non chronometer









much the same as ref 2520
