Hi folks, recently saw this caliber 564 Seamaster for sale on Ebay:

Does the dial looks original? correct crown and hands? Over polished?

 

"Overpolished" is putting it mildly. Search for the seller name on this forum and see what comes up.

 

A member for 4.5 years with nearly 1500 posts and you have to ask if that is over polished? What have you been doing with your time here?

 

Should the caseback not be 168.024 on these chronometer models?
I know the 166.010 caseback is interchangeable but would have expect to see dual reference at least.

 

That’s what I thought but wanted to see what others think

Didn’t knew about that seller profile, now I do!

 

Do you know the saying “buy the seller”? That does not apply to this seller.

 

ah, this background, that's definitely from someone who will sell a refinished/over-polished vintage watch. There are a bunch of sellers using the same background, the one which I remembered the name was "montre48"

 

Yes seller is Montre48 from Canada, on my blacklist now

 

Good buy if you need a new bathroom mirror.

 

It is ultra polished damn, why they use such heavy hands....

 

I'm not very familiar with this reference but the crown looks wrong on it IMO...

 

That really is the least of its issues.

 

Sometimes you see them only with the 166010

 

Thats plain to see, agreed!
