Seamaster from 1961, caliber 285. What you think?

 

No picture of the movement - red flag (poor or average condition)

DON

 

There's a picture of the movement. It's suspicious that it doesn't enlarge but what ever. I like a shot of the inside caseback to see how many service marks are there. In any case you'll spend over $200 US getting a basic service.

But the seller states "Dial has been probably re-stamped but i'm not sure."

I'm pretty sure it's been redialed. Doesn't hurt a non-collectable watch but still...

As a wearable watch it's probably at its value right now with 6 days to go.

You may want to see what's available in the sales area of this forum. There's some nice watches offered by sellers with a reputation on here.

Just a thought...

 

What I think ?
It's not a fantastic manual watch as stated

 

Was thinking of another post, then this and replied here instead of the other.

 

That case back logo doesn't look good, although it could be the angle...

 

Missing lume from hands, redone dial (note position of "Swiss Made") and pretty polished case.

 

The movement looks ok but I do think the dial has been redone. Something off about the Seamaster text. Case back looks ok but not a very clear angle really. At the current price it's probably a fair deal but any higher and I would pass.

 

Yes, I was considering max 230 EUR - circa 250 USD.
Thanks for the advices!

 

There is also this Geneve for a great price.
