    It may just the bad angles but everything on the dial looks crooked to me

    Redial, and clipped seconds hand, too. Original crown, though.

    “Seamaster” in wrong position on dial. No “Swiss Made” at bottom for starters.

    @Adbraz - out of your 70 posts, 30 are threads started by you asking for broad advice on different watchces you have found online. What are you after? Is it a watch for yourself? Are you a dealer looking for advice?

    I see that the photos of the Constellation you removed are now back up, though I can't tell if you or a moderator reinstated them...

    Honestly, while there of course is no rule against asking for help with watches, what exactly is your game?

    isnt this topic about advice? if not i should not be posting here.

    this watch isnt online so please dont come with what you dont know.

    constelation topic was cleared out so it didnt need anymore assesments for sure but if you want pics i can send you.

    Its been decades i dont play games or videogames so i dont speak this language. Again, if you dont like people asking advices with a reason that satisfies "you" , dont help them.. there are already many helpful people here.

    If youre not happy dont help or dont answer. just dont disturb a topic coming like a dictatorial police trying to put your own rules and asking bold questions.

    I thank the above fellowd statement because it made sense and i will consider that for the watch above.

    i constantly try to find rare pieces and its a hobby.

    First paragraph:
    Omegaforums is about a lot of things related to this hobby. One of the things that is going on is people new or old to this hobby asking for advise and often getting it. @ConElPueblo simply asked the reason for the many threads on random pieces where you ask about a piece of which you know nothing and then make a single reply before posting a new watch. There have been several people on the forum in the past asking about watches where it turned out they were buying and flipping them but didn’t want to do any research themselves - living off the kind advice and time spend helping by other members. Shame on them.

    Second paragraph:
    ::confused2::

    Third paragraph:
    It was indeed trash

    Fourth paragraph:
    ::confused2::

    Fifth and sixth paragraph:
    The issue is that people DO want to help but it is not clear whether you yourself learn anything from the advice. It is fine if you are looking for rare pieces but if I had a friend who came to me for advice all the time, got it and moved on to asking the same question again, I would probably begin to ask if he was doing any research himself or trying to learn.

    I'd have to say redial as well. Too clean, and the Seamaster font is off. The case appears to be in good shape.

    sorry to contradict: the case is massively overpolished - it looks like a piece of soap...
    Have you ever seen an example in good shape?

    Eh, it's not bad, but that's just my opinion. Too many vintage solid gold watches look like soap.
