Good Afternoon,
I've recently bought this watch, there's no script on the dial but the caseback is a Seamaster one. The lugs are quite curved inward. Can you please help identify the reference or bring information

Looks like a damaged seamaster DeVille with a repainted dial. Possibly ref 165.020

The hands look like replacements also. If you can return the watch, that might be a good idea.

I would hazard to say incorrect crown for a Seamaster Deville ref

It looks like the "watchmaker" only had 17mm spring bars, so they bent the lugs in to fit.

If possible, you should return the watch.

How much did you pay? If it was more than £50 I’d return it

Thanks for the feedback, the seller took it back and I was able to choose another one
