·Hi All,
A friend of mine has enlisted me to help her restore a Seamaster 165.010 she recently received from her father. Her first question was it fake (since her dad got in in Hong Kong). I assured her it wasn’t fake and likely not a franken watch or redial. To my eye, some service along the way replaced the crystal and crown. It even has a nice 1035 no. 13 folded, flat link bracelet.
Anyways, my ask to the group, am I correct in assessing the crystal and crown are replacements? Reason I say the crystal is is it’s unsigned. Crown, doesn’t look like other comparable models.
If the crown is incorrect, can someone provide me the part number I need to hunt down?
I was uncertain about the hands. I notice some examples have lume, some don’t.
Appreciate your opinions and expertise.
Oh, and don’t forget to let me know the market value, make me offers, and so on…ha! Just kidding.
