Hello guys,

I've been looking for a small second vintage Seamaster since time and I've came across this one.
Would you be so kind to give me your opinion regarding hands, logo, dial... ?
Do you think they are original?

Thanks in advance,

Leo

I forgot to mention it's a manual winding with caliber 410 from 1954

Hi,

I would say that the watch seems original, the printing on the dial doesn’t look redone to my eye, the crown is correct.
However I would suggest to skip this one. The case is heavily repolished, the writing on the dial seems to have worn off, the minute hands has lost its black inlay and the dial in general isn’t in good condition.

This. The heavily polished case with a dial in such poor condition is bizarre, very strange decision to have the case done like that with such a poor dial.

Looks like the dial has been cleaned. The seller messed around with the contrast of the photos to hide the dial condition I am guessing.
