Hello everyone,

Just wondering what you (more knowledgeable) people think about this watch? I think it does not have the right crown for the 2849 and the dial is a bit "dirty." Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Have some patience my friend...This is a Seamaster Calendar from ~1956. This one has a somewhat degraded dial, is a little polished and has incorrect crown. This dial style is a nice one and also came in a date at six version which I believe is a little more collectible. having said all that at its current price its not too bad a deal. I would say at under $350 that's a pretty nice watch if the dial doesn't bother you.

Thanks fellas, sorry if I came across as impatience. I just wanted to know if what I was observing was correct about the watch.

Best regards

Well, it's not a watch you would "collect" but it is certainly one you could wear every day, as long as the price is right. The crown is easy to fix.

Understandable, I realized after that the auction was coming to a close...and agree with John, crown easy to fix and this would make a nice daily wearer at the right price.
