Hey guys,

I'd like to buy a vintage Seamaster small second and I found these two watches on Chrono 24 but I'd like to hear your opinions:

1- Seamaster 1952, CK2657, cal. 344
I feel something is not right with the dial, because the "Swiss Made" at the bottom is covered by the case...

2- Seamaster, still 1952, CK2766, cal. 344

Both watches look ok, except for the hands on the 2nd which might have relumed. The first model is actually a "jumbo" and is decent with a few spots on the dial.

Seller on the first one claims it has been serviced, doesn’t look like it - at least I’d expect the regulator to not be at maximum position after a proper one. Happy to be corrected, though. 😀

Both watches look authentic based on pics. The Swiss Made is often obscured by the rise of the crystal in many watch photos. Not something to be concerned with. Hands do look relumed in the first watch.
