    What appears to you to be the problem with it? It has had a heavy polish job IMO.

    The "S" in Seamaster and "C" in Calendar are goofy.

    The lume is white...
    Considering the age of the watch, this should have honeycomb-radium color lume.

    It's a redial, look at minutes markers and "calendar"
