Hmm. Not sure about this one. Looks to me like the dial text is faded here and there and I’m not sure whether that’s crud on the hands and bezel or corrosion in some spots.

These are always a bit of a gamble. Is it faded text or the effect of a hazy crystal? Is it corrosion or wrist cheese? You never know for sure, but I suspect @dsio is right. Any potential buyer will have to judge for themselves and determine their own risk tolerance.

If you check the two dial side photos side by side you can see how bad the crystal is, it’s has a lot of deep scratches and crud in it and issues with the text visible on one aren’t in another. They are always a bit of a gamble when they’re in raw condition but as long as you don’t overbid you’ve got a lot to work with here, the movement is also very clean and I’ve found these vertical brushed Seamaster dials to be fairly resilient, even when I’ve had dirty or mouldy ones a plastic eraser brings them back without damage.

3 hours left on this one, expecting it to go a lot higher although being mislabeled as gold plate might keep it down a bit

Seamaster 166.003 Cal 565 in steel, under the filth there’s a nice watch there with sharp edges

Under the hood it looks very nice. Love the caseback. Lume pips nice and orange.

Something of a bargain for a nice 18k Connie.

This one goes off in 3 hours, currently around 220 quid, but I really like these arabic dials that are more common in the UK than most markets. Cal 601 manual wind but quite nice dial.

That was a beautiful watch for a good price!

If I hadn't just bought a 2165 earlier this morning, I would have bid to win at all costs.

This is an unusual Seamaster De Ville, but a quite nice one. Calibre 1020 Day-Date, 14K gold and Tiffany & Co signed. Needs to be put on a nice black strap made of peeled reptile, then it’ll look superb.

This is another quite attractive Seamaster that I’m writing an article about at the moment, Calibre 1022 Day-Date movement, and this really attractive vertical brushed metallic dial with sub-seconds that looks rather sporty and clean in a nice steel case. Nobody really looks at these but they’re a really nice piece.

Not sure I'm ready to peel a reptile...
