If only it were a bit larger...

If it were I would have just bought it. 😎

I can see why you folks in the USA think our prices are crazy. You just don't get deals like this in the UK. Even buying from Tim (who is not cheap) in Phoenix AZ, getting the watch shipped back to Cornwall and paying the import VAT was still cheaper than buying the same thing from a UK trader.

Thanks Kyle!
I looked at this and was afraid the 354 wasn't the right movement for this dial. I'm sure I'm wrong but I worried that the dial was older than the movement, that a 354 should say seamaster and that a pre-seamaster dial would have an older mov't probably a 351.
Perhaps better knowledge would have gotten me a nice watch!
You got a good looking watch at a nice price, Hijak!

Buck I passed on that one, its still available...I get a bad feeling about this one😒 even though it is a great price.

Edit: this is located about an hour outside Chicago, I really could go check it out

Good grief, at this price you can afford to take a chance. It's a gold-filled, Wadsworth case, but a nice dial, the movement is 1954 and from the look of it is in very good nick - look at the teeth on the ratchet wheel, like new. The hands look original and are the right length, the gold applied numerals are gorgeous - if this was an hour away from me I'd be on my way now . . .

Have seen other examples of these gold filled bumpers without the Seamaster text with both 351 and 354 movements. It doesn't look like a franken imo.

And with that, it's gone. Who got it... Hijak?

Will be keen to see pictures once it's put on a nice strap and that hideous junk bracelet is gone - please post if someone in here got it.

I'm actually in the US next two weeks on business, and I was so sorely tempted by that Buy button...

Simple dome dials too which might be still available.

Easier said than done. Not too many cal. 564's in workable shape in Webland. The dials for these will only fit the Ref. 168.015 case. Remember that unlike the earlier 56X Constellations, the pie-pan dials are a separate reference number (168.025).

Crowns are special for these monocoques also, but I think Ofrei still carries them.

Here's a nice Alex special:

A little polished and some schmutz on the dial.

Good luck to the bidders,

Very imprecise words but describes the watch precisely!

Mike, despite being from Joizey, probably isn't too familiar with Yiddish terms. S'alright though, he's still a mensch.

Bet he knows some good Filipino words though. 😁
