Edit to add My SMDV has a redia watch face .
To be more precise, after some extensive chats with respected OFers here & especially with nake caliber pics (my SMDV is now in the hands of watchmaker for servicing) it turns out mine is a redialed and a wrong redial. Concerning the caliber it is 25m range. Base dial paint seems original, lume on tip of indices removed, wordings reprinted. Some respected collector here think that S in Seamaster points to a 60s and later design, no T beside SWISS MADE and lume still glows right now denote a bad redial, although a well done one. OFers are a good sources of knowledge. Thank you all

Now it is mine. Hope to hear your insights. Do you think the printings are original. Please
What makes me crazy is that mine is gold capped while there was another SMDV solid gold floating in Vietnam. See this older entry I Posted sometime ago. 😉
Thanks for such a comprehensive thread and walk through of faces. May I ask if this watch that I own is unusual in that the calendar at the 6 position. The serial number starts 14.... so would suggest its circa 1954

Well to me it looks like a bad redial with the wrong hands. Seconds hand is way to short. The model itself is not uncommon with the date window af 6.
looking for some information on this watch, inherited without box and papers, just wondering if its worth getting an authentic strap! Aware the watch my not be authentic
