After a series of blurred photos and numerous email exchanges, the seller did not respond (after two days) when I mentioned that no Seamaster was ever fitted with cal 505. So lessons learned: Always ask for high resolution pictures of dial, movement, and case Ask direct questions: year, model, calibre number, the movement's reference/serial number, case reference number Ask if dial has been refurbished/refinished. If yes, ask for the photo of the dial before refinishing/refurbishing Research, research, researchAnd of course, before making any purchase decision, ask the forums: MWF, watchuseek, watchprosite.--mel
