I occasionally peruse the listings of vintage Seamaster divers, particularly the straight lug ones. I ran into one that I have never seen before. That of course doesn't mean alot as I am not very experienced on these but this is being sold as 165.014-63.

Now please tell me that I am not the only one who wonders what the frack is this supposed to be.



Now of course the hands and crown are replacements, but what is that dial? Service dial or outright fake/redial?

Honestly though, I鈥檓 no expert at all on these but I鈥檝e never encountered a service dial like that.
