Hi there, I'm new, but I have been browsing this site for a little while. I'm in the market for a vintage Seamaster; I'm looking at both the cal.565 and cal.1020 as well as the Seamaster De Ville. I've done some preliminary research both on here and on other sites and this has helped me narrow it down to these three watches. However, I am still very new to this and would like some help on: 1. Which watch out of the three everybody on here would buy. 2. Is the price right? 3. Are there any problems with any of them? 4. What's the difference between them all? I am very keen to learn and offer something back, but some advice on these points would be fantastic! This is the first one: 1968 Seamaster cal. 565. Price: £749 ($1075) or Best Offer.

The photos have gone into an odd order. They run chronologically. However, the last two photos showing the movement belong with the first watch, the Seamaster cal 565.
For me personally I woudnt buy any of then I would say all three are redials . If you looking for a daily wear watch I would look hear in the privet watch sale all the sellers are from the OF and the watches are genuine so are the prices and you will get more for your money here .
