Hello all,
Does anyone have any thoughts to share on this Seamaster with a Ranchero dial? Does anyone know if it is original? I can't get the reference number from the caseback to check for sure. From my untrained eyes, it seems to be a redial or were they just like this? Also, the hands seem different from other Rancheros I've seen. Any opinions would on the watch in general would be greatly appreciated.

 

Redone dial, it is a Seamaster De Ville case and the secondhand is wrong to. Properly a caliber 610/611, ref. 136.010 or 136.020

 

Odds are that's a fake buckle too.

 

It's clearly redial.

 

I believe that the Ranchero came in two case refs, 2990 for subsecond and 2996 for center seconds, and there are seamasters that come with those case refs too.

As noted though, redial and wrong case and wrong hands.

Edit: and Rancheros don't have date complication.
