Hey guys! I haven't been around the forum in a while but after browsing recently I caught the vintage bug again [emoji23]. Anyway I made a hasty bid for something on eBay and since I'm so rusty I was hoping to get advice. The watch in question is this Seamaster 2577 with a 352 and a nice waffle dial. I realize his asking price is high but he did take my offer for a good deal less than asking. I know the crown is incorrect so I was wondering if everything else looks good. I know you're supposed to ask advice before you buy, I just got excited. https://www.ebay.com/itm/332022791107Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm not sure the 12, 3, 6 & 9 markers are original. I don't remember seeing markers like this before.
Now that you mention it, I thought they looked familiar but now I can't seem to find a similar example online. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If that crystal has yellowed, the dial would look better behind a fresh one. Can you upload a photo of the isdide surface of the case back? Seems the jury is out on the dial. Butbeven so, I might have sprung for that one myself. I like it!
I'm sure I've seen those markers on another Chronometer on here... Looks great, congrats on a nice pick-up!
I think the case has been a bit overpolished. The dial looks original and correct to me. A proper clover crown should be available without too much trouble. Caseback markings and movement look fine. gatorcpa
Thanks guys! Glad it checks out. I probably overpaid a bit for it but whatever, I like it . I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hi 352 is my one of my favorite Seamaster movements ! something about a gold screwback case you cant beat !! Good Hunting bill Sohne
It's hard to overpay for such a watch.. There is just not a lot out there like this, so if you want it, you got to pay what you gotta pay.. Who knows when another will come along if ever. Beautiful seamaster!!
Have a 351 Seamaster with the same marker type. Never been sure it's original, as I haven't found those markers on other watches. Still not sure....
