路I'll double check for you, but that case looks like the Seamasters of the late 60's / early 70's. It might have a 1002 inside, or if you're lucky a 563 or 565. .
Cant believe i missed this one!

nice starter watch. I'm only recommending because I've dealt with this seller in the past and he sells nice stuff. Also a very competent watchmaker and he gives most of his watches a full service before he lists them. figure that's worth 2 - 3 hundred bucks minimum so a watch like this becomes almost free.
I'm of buying this watch. It will be my first vintage watch. I know the size is an issue but I don't mind. Does it look look as it should? I'm certainly a newb and the things you all see inspires me to learn more. Is the price right and will it hold it's value? Thanks for any insight I might get.

It's been polished but you can still see the bevelled edges on the lugs, so I consider it ok. The dial appears to be two-tone, with some spotting due to moisture from over the years. I think it's going to look way better in the flesh than it does with the screwy white balance on those photos, it may turn out to be a nice patina. Seller says it's been serviced and citizenrich vouches for his watchmaking skills. As the seller says, there's no rubbing of the rotor against the case back and the pictures back him up - both are nice and clean.
Prices are lower in the US, and these mid-size aren't as desirable as the larger models. But I figure the watch is worth in excess of $300 easy, and the rest of the price covers the service.

路Thanks for the reply Mathlar. The seller had accepted a bidders previous offer so was no longer available. Too bad, I was prepared to pay asking price. I think this will be one of those hobbies where the search will be most of the fun. Again, thanks for taking the time to school me.

路It never hurts to message the seller with an offer. Worst they can say is no. Then you still have a chance if the seller wants to let the auction run it's course.

路I'll keep that in mind. I was just on the the fence too long due to the size of the watch. Next time I'll follow your advice.
