You know that there were and are a lot of fakes on the bay, 9/10 seamaster 300 for sale on teh bay are fake and their movement is far to be NOS. A 1965-1969 seamaster 300 non date has a 552 and a seamster 300 with date has a 565 both calibers with 24 jewels, if it is not the case then the watch is a franken.
