Hi guys, I’m new to the forum and new to the world of seamasters. I have the possibility to buy an old seamaster 600 ref nr 136.011 caliber 611 for somewhere between 400-450 dollars. I would love if you guys could give me some feedback based on these photos. Does it seem legit? Is it worth the asking price if compared to market price? Everything should be original besides the crown according to the seller.

thanks in advance!

It's legit but the dial appears to have some age spots.

Not worth that money (especially if you're in the US - watches tend to be more expensive in Europe) imo.

Seems to be legit. This should be a 35mm version with non-quickset date. The crown is not what is supposed to be. IMO the price should be max $300-350 after checking the movement.

Dial should be beside of the spots all original. Crown is a non Omega replacement(as already mentioned) Keep in mind to add the cost of a movement service to the price.

I would want to see a few better pics in sunlight. I can’t tell if what I am seeing between 3-5 and 10-11 are moisture damage or just bad photography (lots of noise and blown out highlights there). The superficial “crud” sitting on the dial may clean off easily by a competent watchmaker.
It’s easy to minimize price when we see these all day, but they are actually not as easy to find in nice shape as many would think. I love mine and it would take quite a bit more than $450 to pry it from my fingers.

I think these are the best wearing of this era of Seamaster due to the thick and clean case shape- not dainty like the DeVille’s.

Such a clean example should remain in your fingers!
