    on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/221903850756?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network is this nice, to me, 165.014 for $2800 that has ended at least 3 times without a bid. That seems like a very good price for a 165.014.

    the description day have:
    DIAL PROFESSIONAL REFINISHED
    BEZEL ORIGINAL FACTORY BEZEL HAS BEEN PROFESSIONAL REFINISHED

    is that enough to make it so cheap?

    what am I missing?

    The bezel also doesn't look great. I had the same question about this watch a few days ago, but now that I've familiarized myself with these old Seamasters (quite closely, too ;) ) I'd be pretty unhappy with that bezel. The dial looks OK, but as it's refinished, the watch loses most of its value.

    ... and especially since the dial is a14755 look alike.
    On a 165.014-63 (like this one) I would expect the later 165.014/165.024 type dial...and also stick hands.
    On a 165.014-62 reference the 14755 dial with arrow minute hand (or stick hands) could be accepted.

    I think redial make it seem to be strange, and that might lower its value. anyway I also have no idea if it in all original,
    what's price that should be.
