I am looking to purchase this watch online but i am hesitant because even though the movement looks authentic , it doesn't have the script "seamaster" on dial even though the dial looks vintage as well , can anyone please advise ?

There are plain dialed variants out there for this reference.

This watch is toast though. Your money would be better spent if you found another in better condition.

My suggestion is to use the forum's search tool and look through other threads / posts for how a ref 135.011 should look like.

When he asked for the reason you want(ed) to buy this watch, that meaned he thought it was not worth buying. You can see engaraved text inside the case back suggests that this watch was plated but the plated cover was removed. The movement is in bad shape and the lack of screws to keep it in fixed position may suggest that the movement is not for this case. And many other things that scream out loud that you should not buy this watch.

The watch is a total shit show.
Movement should be a caliber 601, not a 600. The case MAY be a 135.011, if so it's seen a bad session on the polishing wheel.
The "Seamaster" has been washed off the dial by some heavy duty dial cleaning, I'm amazed they managed to keep the other markings.
As noted by @hant26, the movement is filthy and missing parts and does not fit the case, even with the dodgy casing ring.

Before you waste any more of your time, educate yourself a bit by reading this

You'll be in a much better position then and will be able to identify the good, the bad and the ugly.

👆 this man speaks the truth. That watch is completely cactus. Put in a touch more cash and get a good one.

dial is terrible. But it seems you are already saved from buying this one.

It's in very poor condition. This reference is an entry-level model, and you should be able to get one that is very nice for a reasonable price.
