So again, I'm dreaming but sticking to "affordable" for me. I was considering saving for a Seiko SARB035 ~$500 CDN

or SARY055 ~$400 CDN

But, I have been looking at vintage dress watches on Chrono24.ca and I'm really attracted to this mid-century style Seamaster. I generally like mid-century styling in industrial design. Heck, I walked into Sears Northhill during their closing sale and went into the back rooms just to check out the 50s/60s walls that are still original and it made me really happy for some reason.

A couple of things worry me though. The description says the dial has been repainted (how did they redo the lettering?). Does that ruin the value? It's also 56 years old and from India so no idea about service history or future service costs.
