    I wonder why they would put a non-chronometre in a precious metal case. White gold even.

    Something could be wrong with the movement.
    In Ebay ad there is no clear picture of movement name (cal.) or number but you can read "17 jewels" on the movement. As ref. 166.020 should be either with cal. 562 or 565 and both movements have 24 jewels it could be a slightly franken.

    There is an option that it was made for US market and has a lower jewel movement (560/563)

    They also put chronometer movements in steel and gold on steel cases for Constellations and there as model (166.020 ) was not chronometer certified they put 562/565 in it. I have had some yellow gold 166.020 with normal 562/565 so nothing odd there.

    That particular reference in white gold for some reason there are a very large number of floating around compared to almost all other references of Seamaster and Constellation, I remember a year or two ago some guy actually dumped like half a dozen of them both complete watches and loose cases on eBay, most didn't go that high.
