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?

 

Well that is, a, uh...well obviously it’s a...I mean it’s plainly a, erm....a thing. Yessir, that is most assuredly some...THING.

Honestly though, I’m no expert at all on these but I’ve never encountered a service dial like that.

 

No T’s closed 9’s...

No definite answers but 90s service dial is a possible option.

 

Nice , thanks for the link. @kox post from that thread sums it up pretty well.

Looks weird, wonky and quite frankly ugly but that is just my opinion.
