Hi,
Still in the hunt for a nice gold capped watch for my wife, I’ve been offering this one.
Case is sharp, mouvement is ok, part number also, but don’t you think the « Seamaster » inscription on the dial is a bit messy ?
Do you think dial is original ?
Thanks for your help

Looks original. Depends on price.

Asking 800€ serviced, seems to be the price in Europe

Looks original to me and a nice example. Case pretty sharp too. Price seems a little high but not crazy.

Don’t you think the inscription lack of serif ?

Is it normal that the « Swiss made » seems a bit out of the dial ?

Thanks, I’m more used to Connie, and I thought it was a bit off, half of the letter are out of the dial… will see in person

That one picture of the movement dial-down on the plastic makes me cringe. Seems like they are begging to have bent hands.

Looks totally legit to me, and not a bad price at all if serviced.

It looks like a good original watch. I do not think the dial has been refinished. The case is in great shape and the thin layer of purplish patina on the dial says it has not seen a lot of action. The case and dial are in good matching condition. There is nothing suspicious from what I see.
